President Abelardo de la Espriella announces reconstruction plan and the end of the 'Total Peace' strategy.
President Abelardo de la Espriella officially transitioned the country into a phase of public infrastructure reconstruction and rural zone recovery following a major earthquake. The administration announced a plan to prioritize families whose homes were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable, providing a rent subsidy of approximately $1,050,000 per month for three months. In Cali, Mayor Alejandro Éder is coordinating the delivery of economic assistance to 11,000 registered families, offering flexible payment options such as PINs for those without bank accounts. Beyond infrastructure, President Abelardo de la Espriella confirmed the final dismantling of the 'Total Peace' strategy launched by the previous administration. He signed nine resolutions to close dialogue tables with various military and regional groups, ordering forces to recover territorial control and combat corruption. The president also highlighted new investments from Japanese companies like Mazda and Toyota and launched a special plan for the Tolima department to reactivate agriculture after forest fires.
