Colombia has a new president
Abelardo de la Espriella has been sworn in as Colombia's new president.
In front of, among others, Spain's King Felipe VI and Argentine President Javier Miel, conservative de la Espriella was sworn in in a university auditorium in the city of Cali instead of in front of the congress in the capital Bogotá as usual. He is expected to later give a speech at a military base in the city.
Trump's friend de la Espriella won the presidential election in June by less than one percentage point against leftist candidate Iván Cepeda. Former president Gustavo Petro has claimed election fraud, something that has been dismissed by international and domestic analysts, and has vowed to go into strong opposition.
