De la Espriella’s deportation order signals a sharp turn in Colombia’s migration policy, shifting from years of regularization and integration toward stricter enforcement, and potentially affecting hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.
This is what Colombia's first far-right government will look like. Traditional conservatives, regional political clans, technocrats and newcomers make up the team that will govern alongside De la Espriella.
The Pacto Histórico is the largest congressional bloc, with 26 Senate seats and 43 seats in the House of Representatives, but no party holds a majority, making coalition-building essential.
President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella appointed Rodrigo Lara Restrepo as interior minister as Centro Democrático, Cambio Radical, and Creemos announced their support for his incoming administration.
