A group called 'Manifiesto de Centro' has criticized President Gustavo Petro and former presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella for displaying 'undemocratic attitudes' that risk causing a serious institutional crisis. 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.' They also criticize the 'disobedience' of Cepeda, though they defend the legality of civil disobedience. However, they claim that de la Espriella’s dual Colombian-American citizenship creates a conflict of interest and suggest he should renounce his U.S. nationality for the good of the country.

Abelardo de la Espriella, a prominent figure in Colombian politics, is promoting the creation of 'Bloques de Defensa para la Seguridad Urbana,' specialized security units aimed at addressing rising crime rates such as theft and extortion in urban areas. These blocks have gained support from mayors who are aligned with De la Espriella, many of whom have been in conflict with President Gustavo Petro. While the initiative appears beneficial for local leaders seeking to address public safety concerns, especially among middle-class voters who supported the right-wing president, opposition figures like Iván Cepeda have raised alarms, suggesting these groups could evolve into paramilitary-like structures. The article discusses the potential implications of forming these security units.

El ex-presidente Gustavo Petro anunció que no asistirá a la ceremonia de posesión del nuevo presidente electo, Abelardo De La Espriella, el 7 de agosto, debido a su creencia de que hubo un fraude electoral de 848.000 votos. Petro sostiene que este fraude no ha sido comprobado judicialmente y, por ello, declara su ausencia tanto física como simbólica. Aunque tradicionalmente el presidente saliente participa en esta ceremonia, Petro argumenta que no puede reconocer públicamente a un mandatario que, según él, no representa la voluntad popular. Por otro lado, De La Espriella ha confirmado que se posesionará en una base militar del sur del país, pese a las objeciones de Petro.
