Colombian President Petro calls for general strike, disputes election results

Outgoing Colombian President Gustavo Petro has refused to recognize the June 21 election results, alleging fraud and calling for a general strike against the incoming administration of Abelardo De la Espriella. This political crisis is unfolding concurrently with confirmed investigations into the transnational Tren de Aragua criminal organization in Bogota and Petro's claims of a broader transnational criminal network operating in Colombia.
