YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Colombia's presidential election is heading to a run-off between left-wing candidate Iván Cepeda and far-right millionaire lawyer Abelardo de la Espriella. With the two candidates neck and neck, voters face a stark choice between pursuing talks with armed groups and a tougher military-led security strategy.

DW speaks to correspondent Felipe Abondano and to Elizabeth Dickinson, Deputy Director for Latin America and the Caribbean at the International Crisis Group, for insights into the candidates, their competing visions — and what the outcome could mean for Colombia’s future.
