WHERE THIS COUNTRY STANDS

Critical European Reading

Immediately label the new government as 'far-right president' or 'ultraderechista', note the absence of former presidents and opposition among the guests, and question the feasibility of the program as well as the risk of returning to contested policies like glyphosate fumigation.

BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

The Spanish press focuses on the presence of King Felipe VI and the ceremonial aspects, rather than delving into the details of the new president's economic program.

There is a preference for the security narrative inherited from Petro, with more emphasis on statistics related to armed groups than on the new government's security announcements.

The regional supporters of the new president receive limited coverage, with pool articles failing to elaborate on the positions of other heads of state in attendance in Cali.
