Abelardo De la Espriella, the incoming president of Colombia, has faced controversy over his insistence on holding his presidential inauguration at a military installation outside of Bogotá. He argued this would 'honor the true heroes of the nation, police and soldiers.' Initially, he proposed holding the ceremony first in the Cauca region and then in the Valle del Cauca, though it was later moved to an auditorium in Cali after the Senate had not yet voted on the location. The plan to hold the ceremony at a military site was blocked by current President Gustavo Petro, who explicitly stated he would not allow any military establishment to prepare for the inauguration of a civilian official. De la Espriella initially announced the proposal during a regional event in Cúcuta and later posted a video urging Congress to approve moving the ceremony southward. However, since the final approval depends on Petro, the outgoing president, the military venue option was deemed unviable from the start. The proposal sparked debate over the symbolic implications of having a civilian leader inaugurated before the military.

The Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has called for all ambassadors to submit their resignations by tomorrow, part of a standard procedure during presidential transitions. This follows the resignation of Laura Sarabia, Colombia’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, who had already submitted her resignation earlier this month.
