The article discusses the political battle over indigenous territories (ETIs) in the Alta Guajira region of Colombia, focusing on the actions of President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, who plans to revoke eight previously established ETIs. The controversy involves claims by Senator-elect Enrique Gómez that the government has created 8 ETIs since December 2025 and intends to create 18 more, potentially affecting 17 million hectares. Environmental Minister Fabio Arjona expressed caution, acknowledging the decision was rushed but difficult to reverse.

The group includes politicians, former ministers, and intellectuals who argue that while they acknowledge the recent election was exemplary, they condemn Petro for retracting his recognition of de la Espriella based on unsubstantiated fraud claims and for de la Espriella alleging a 'coup.'
