NEW: Reaction to Petro's big Cabinet shift. We spoke to analysts who believe the "administration’s gradual radicalization in service of his agenda will now deepen and accelerate... This will significantly erode the business and investment environment."

You know I love Colombia…
But the new tax reform is a dealbreaker for me and should be for you.
Taxes on:
Income
Wealth
Inheritance
Capital gains
Dividends
And the worst part…
The new M residency visas require you to be in Colombia more than 180 days / year.
HARD NO.

Hoy se cumplen 74 años del asesinato de Jorge Eliécer Gaitán. Su muerte, el 9 de abril de 1948, intensificó un ciclo de violencia política que dejará consigo una guerra civil partidista sin precedentes en América Latina: La Violencia. Aquí van las fotos de Leonardo Ortiz.

Cannot ignore the political 5th column of Putinists, from the far right & left in EU to the tankies & Trump & his GOP followers in the US. They may have the right to support a brutal dictator's war in order to criticize Biden, but it's disgusting and anti-American. Do not forget.

I remember watching the coverage of the fall of Saigon in 1975 with disbelief. I never thought I'd see the same images repeated 46 years later. 'Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.' It's an avoidable tragedy & Biden bears full responsibility. #Afghanistan

Well, just applied to have this projected funded by the Venezuela Affairs Unit of the US State Dept and got this sad, short answer in response: "Applications closed early due to lack of funds."
Last week we took our soup project out to Venezuelan settlements in the Colombian border zone. These communities are a legacy of the Venezuelan migration and will need support as they develop.
Check out this video and consider supporting the project here gofundme.com/f/fundraiser-fo…

In case you missed, here’s an investigative piece I worked on from Cali for @washingtonpost that came out yesterday on the killings of protesters at the hands of police in Colombia. – at Bogotá, D.C., Colombia
Dozens of deaths during protests in Colombia are putting the nation’s militarized security forces under a global microscope.
A Post examination of video footage involving four of the deaths shows how Colombian police appear to have crossed a lethal line. wapo.st/3hClwuc
