...Who is demanding that the elections in Colombia, which had a clear and confessed foreign intervention, be annulled?
What judge will accept, in the face of the public confession by the president of the United States, a foreigner in Colombia, and Colombia being a sovereign Republic with a constitution that prohibits foreign interference and its funds, that the elections in Colombia be declared null and void?
The direct intervention by President Donald Trump annuls the elections in Colombia, if we heed the international treaties that protect nations, including the UN and the OAS, and our own constitution. Why do they not speak out?
The president of the Republic of Colombia requests that you make a statement regarding the thesis of the European Court on the annulment of the elections in Romania so that it may be equated with Colombia. By what right does Western Europe annul elections due to foreign intervention, and why not Colombia, when unlike Romania, the act of intervention is public and confessed? By what right?...
...got some really unwelcome news from those same Europeans he was appealing to.
A real sort of 'stuff a sock in it' moment.
THE JEWS DID NOT STEAL THE ELECTION
EU observers reject Gustavo Petro’s election fraud claims in Colombia
European Union election observers have firmly rejected outgoing President Gustavo Petro’s allegations of widespread fraud in Colombia’s recent presidential election, describing the vote count as transparent and orderly.
In a preliminary report following the June 21 runoff, the EU Electoral Observation Mission stated it had found no evidence of irregularities.
Mission chief Esteban González Pons noted that the process followed Colombian electoral law and emphasised that the counting was carried out in a “transparent, orderly and fluid” manner.
The mission, which deployed around 150 observers, had also monitored the first round in May and reached similar conclusions.
Petro, whose preferred successo lost narrowly to right-wing outsider Abelardo de la Espriella, repeatedly claimed the results were manipulated.
He alleged digital interference, vote buying, and accused Israel of meddling in the process to favour the opposition.
Petro escalated his claims dramatically on social media, directly accusing Israel — and by extension Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — of hacking Colombia’s electoral software.
Oh, that had to sting just a little.
And I can't say for sure that firm rejection from the EU was what prompted what happened next, but it surely took the wind out of whiny sails.
Petro's chosen successor conceded the election to Abelardo de la Espriella.

Petro's presidential party is over.
Unlike Petro, Iván Cepeda was gracious in defeat.

...to next door and the embattled, newly elected president of Bolivia, Rodrigo Paz. 
It hasn't been smooth sailing for President Paz because of former president and communist Evo Morales' return to guerrilla warfare against his legitimate successor.
Protestors have brought Bolivia to a standstill. Road blockades across the country, stopping food and fuel from passing, are choking the economy.

...They’re angry at the new centre-right president’s austerity measures, and some are looking to their old socialist leader, a wanted fugitive, Evo Morales.
Guillermo Galdos tracks down Morales deep in a forest in Chapare, where he’s hiding.
And the incoming president of Colombia has an as ruthless, if somewhat more urbane, nemesis in the narco trafficking ex-president to be, Gustavo Petro.
The inauguration is set for August 7, but de la Espriella is making no bones about the direction he intends to take the country - straight into full cooperation with the United States.

🇨🇴🇺🇸| URGENT: Colombia's president-elect Abelardo de la Espriella responds to U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's invitation to join the Shield of the Americas:
"Starting August 7, Colombia will be part of the Shield of the Americas. Colombia will NO longer be governed by a regime complacent with narco-terrorism; we will move to combat it as it deserves."
And the Colombian people cannot wait to see the cartels vanquished.

Soon we'll see the camp of alias Calarca turned to cosmic dust, just as the ringleader of the Tren de Aragua was taken out
They have lived for so long with the chaos and terror, and see de la Espriella as the man to lead them out of bondage.
Abelardo es el presidente que necesitaba Colombia. Los narcos y la guerrilla que tienen azotado a los Colombianos que vayan empacando porque lo que les viene pierna arriba es FUEGO desgraciados.

Abelardo is the president Colombia needed. The narcos and the guerrillas who've been terrorizing Colombians had better start packing because what's coming their way is HELLFIRE, you bastards.
I doubt the cartels see it that way, and Petro already had De la Espriella's mentor, Miguel Oribe, assassinated last summer.
With his bold announcement concerning the Shield of the Americas membership, de la Espriella is drawing that red line.

#VideoBlu One of the first actions that President-elect Abelardo De La Espriella will take, once he assumes office, will be to include Colombia in the Shield of the Americas, an initiative of the Donald Trump government that authorizes operations against drug trafficking and the deployment of U.S. troops on the territory of member countries. Meanwhile, the president-elect is already advancing in the formation of his government team.
The new president had best stay very, very frosty.
