Two sides of a political chasm share one fear in Colombia’s presidential race: A return to the past

Colombia's polarized presidential election features Iván Cepeda, a peace activist advocating for continued negotiations with criminal groups, and Abelardo de la Espriella, a Trump-endorsed candidate promising a harsh approach to crime. Both candidates face opposition from conflict victims who fear a return to the country's violent past marked by decades of armed conflict involving guerrillas, military forces, and paramilitaries.
