Conflitos · 11,000 troops guard Cali · Arquivo11,000 soldados, uma posse fora de Bogotá: Colômbia inicia era de linha-dura em CaliEscrito 7 de setembro de 2026 às 21:22 UTCAssistirTranscrição0:00Avalardo de la Espriella takes office as0:02president of Colombia on August 8th,0:04[music] 2026. And according to France 240:07English, he will be sworn in in Cali.0:09The first time a Colombian [music]0:10president will be inaugurated outside0:12the capital, Bogota. The decision moves0:14the core ritual of the state away from0:16Bogota to Cali, a shift France 240:18[music] English describes as historic0:20and as de la Espriella's opening choice0:22as president-elect. France 24 English0:25reports a security operation involving0:2711,000 troops is underway to secure the0:29inauguration [music] and to reassure0:31visiting heads of state gathered for the0:32ceremony. On the ground, the network0:34describes a city crawling [music] with0:36police, a visible cordon already in0:38place days before the oath. France 240:41places Cali on the [music] fringes of0:43gang territory and notes the city has0:45been targeted by multiple bomb attacks0:47in recent years, which is why the0:49location intensifies [music] the0:50security stakes.1:04Residents framed the show of force as1:06risk rather than [music] reassurance,1:08with one telling France 24 the Cali1:09choice is a monumental mistake [music]1:11because it is an act of provocation. And1:13another saying, "You can tell he's going1:15to be a heavy-handed leader and they1:17just [music] hope there won't be1:17violence." With authority in Cali still1:20contested and previously attacked, an1:22inauguration meant to project authority1:24now depends on whether that 11,000 troop1:26cordon holds through August 8th without1:28violence. And whether starting his1:30presidency at the edge of gang territory1:32signals the heavy-handed approach1:33residents anticipate.Ler o artigoCronologia da históriaHeyDexO vídeo curto ↗
