In a turn that definitively fractures the leadership of the Historic Pact, the defeated candidate Iván Cepeda formally admitted this Wednesday his defeat in the presidential runoff. In a press conference that undermines the dictatorial ambitions of his political boss, Cepeda stated emphatically: "I have decided to accept the result that indicates that Abelardo de la Espriella is the new president of the Republic of Colombia". This capitulation occurs three days after the election, after the final count confirmed the undeniable victory of freedom over progressivism.
This acknowledgment by Cepeda publicly and shamefully contradicts narcopresident Gustavo Petro, who, in a state described by media sectors as drugged and delirious, has attempted to disregard the popular will.
While Cepeda speaks of democratic responsibility and citizen participation, Petro has launched a confusing message on social media where, in addition to comparing himself to an invisible jaguar, he threatened to "rise up in arms" and take part of the army to form a supposed "liberating" group.
The outgoing president has demanded the annulment of the elections under the excuse of alleged foreign interference from figures like Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, despite the fact that the Registrar's Office confirmed that the count matches 99.9% with the preliminary count and the European Union mission ruled out any type of "irregularity".
