Far-right against peace process: Colombia's new president wants to dismantle peace programs

The article reports that Colombia's new president, Abelardo de la Espriella, has announced plans to dissolve several programs aimed at implementing the peace agreement with the FARC guerrilla. The proposed changes include transforming the Peace Implementation Office into a Security Commission and eliminating departments focused on human rights, national reconciliation, and disaster preparedness. De la Espriella, an ultraright politician, claims his administration will end 'fake peace processes' and prioritize national security through military action against armed groups. He aims to cut costs by restructuring these initiatives. De la Espriella narrowly won the June 21 election against the leftist candidate Iván Cepeda. The article notes that while a peace deal was signed under former President Manuel Santos in 2016, the process has stalled due to ongoing violence and control by splinter groups and paramilitary forces, which fund their activities through illegal gold mining and cocaine production.
