Anti-cartel candidate 'The Tiger' channels Trump and Bukele in Colombia election shocker

Colombia's first-round presidential election saw conservative candidate Abelardo de la Espriella, known as 'The Tiger,' secure a surprise victory, positioning him for a June 21 runoff against leftist Ivan Cepeda. De la Espriella's campaign focuses on a hardline approach to criminal organizations and security, contrasting with President Gustavo Petro's 'Total Peace' policy. Analysts link his success to a regional shift in Latin America against leftist governments.
