Entre Navidad y Año Nuevo

Inicio estas últimas líneas de 2025 con el deseo, ya incumplido, de que los colombianos hayan podido encontrarse en familia alrededor del mensaje de paz de Belén.

Entre Navidad y Año Nuevo

TL;DR

  • Despite hopes for a peaceful holiday season, Colombia faced 76 massacres and narcoterrorist attacks, including a violent wave from the ELN.
  • The ELN's unilateral ceasefire is criticized as cynical, and the government's positive reception is questioned.
  • Optimism for peace and prosperity in 2026 is expressed, with economic growth in 2025 attributed to businesses, not the government.
  • The Colombian livestock sector is a major provider of animal protein, with significant milk and meat production.
  • Livestock exports exceeded those of 2024 by October, with sustained growth in the Chinese market and a pending challenge to access the U.S. market.
  • Insecurity due to rural abandonment threatens the livestock sector, but 500 Solidary Security Fronts have been established to combat it.
