The Right Returns to Colombia
The president-elect is a new kind of leader in Colombia, a fiery, flashy populist who savaged the traditional Colombian right, led by the massively popular former president Álvaro Uribe Vélez, arguing that the country needs a political outsider willing to go to greater lengths than the comparatively staid center-right. An adherent to the growing libertarian tendency on the Latin American right, De la Espriella has advocated for reducing the size of the Colombian state by as much as 40 percent, much of which he argues can be done by simply wiping out the corruption and patronage of the Colombian political class. If this sounds familiar, it’s no accident—De la Espriella is an admirer of Javier Milei, the libertarian president of Argentina.
