Are you telling me he's gonna tackle those money launderers, "farmacists" paramilitars and corrupt politicians he represented as a lawyer less than 4 years ago? Because make no mistakes: if Pablo Escobar was still alive, Abelardo de la Espriella would be his lawyer.

A new and glorious way forward for Colombia! The mistakes of the past shall be rectified ten-fold and no quarter will be given to the communist guerrillas hiding out in the hills! The time for inaction and instability and talking is over, the only doctrine will be one of action!
