Daniela Gómez Rivas, former Vice Minister of Defense and security expert, strongly criticized the Abelardo de la Espriella administration's handling of security.
From a critical and opposition perspective, Daniela argues that the government still lacks a consolidated security policy and that much of what is presented publicly corresponds more to a "tough on crime" narrative than a structured strategy.
During the interview, she also contextualizes the figures for kidnapping, extortion, homicides, and arrests, questioning why several of these results are presented as direct achievements of the new government when, she explains, some trends had been developing for months.
Furthermore, she warns about the risks of a policy based solely on operational pressure, quick results, and media exposure, especially if this ends up weakening civilian oversight of the security forces or increasing abuses against the population.
A key interview to understand how the opposition is interpreting Abelardo's security agenda and what their main objections are to the official narrative.
