Today, the people of Colombia made their voices heard.
CPAC congratulates President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella, “El Tigre,” and the Colombian people on this historic victory. Colombians have chosen a future rooted in freedom, security, economic opportunity, and national pride over the failed promises of socialism.
This election is another milestone in the growing movement across Latin America as citizens reject Marxist policies in favor of free markets, strong democratic institutions, national sovereignty, and individual liberty. Time and again, the people of our hemisphere are proving that prosperity comes from empowering citizens, not expanding government.
For decades, Colombia has been one of America’s closest allies in the Western Hemisphere, and we look forward to working with President-elect de la Espriella and leaders committed to strengthening democracy, combating criminal organizations, and encouraging investment.
CPAC stands with the freedom loving people of Colombia as the momentum for freedom in the Americas continues to grow. Congratulations once again to President-elect Abelardo de la Espriella and to the people of Colombia on this remarkable victory.
