Kolumbiens Präsidentschaftswahl 2026: Was Ihr wissen solltet

Image
Kolumbien steuert in diesem Monat auf eine entscheidende Präsidentschaftswahl zu, bei der die politischen Fronten klar gezogen sind und erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die zukünftige politische Richtung des Landes haben wird. Drei unterschiedliche Visionen konkurrieren um die Präsidentschaft. Die politische Landschaft Auf der linken Seite steht Iván Cepeda, der für die Fortführung und Vertiefung der Reformagenda von Präsident Gustavo Petro (dem ersten linksgerichteten Präsidenten in der Geschichte Kolumbiens) steht. Der Fokus liegt auf sozialer Gerechtigkeit, Umweltschutz, strukturellen wirtschaftlichen Veränderungen und der Strategie des „Totalen Friedens“, also Verhandlungen mit bewaffneten Gruppen. Auch wenn die Ergebnisse dieser Friedensstrategie viel schwächer als erhofft sind, gab es in einigen Regionen konkrete Fortschritte, zum Beispiel lokale Waffenstillstände und eine Verringerung der Gewalt in Gebieten, die von Gruppen wie der ELN beeinflusst werden. Iván Cepeda In der po...

Colombia’s 2026 presidential election: What you need to know

Image
Colombia is heading toward a decisive presidential election this month, in which the political lines are clearly drawn and which will have a significant impact on the country’s future political direction. Three distinct visions are vying for the presidency. The Political Landscape On the left is Iván Cepeda, who advocates for the continuation and deepening of the reform agenda of President Gustavo Petro (the first left-leaning president in Colombia’s history). The focus is on social justice, environmental protection, structural economic changes, and the “Total Peace” strategy - that is, negotiations with armed groups. Even though the results of this peace strategy have been much weaker than hoped for, there has been concrete progress in some regions, such as local ceasefires and a reduction in violence in areas influenced by groups like the ELN. Iván Cepeda In the political center, Sergio Fajardo and Claudia López advocate a more moderate course. They emphasize strengthening state inst...

Élections présidentielles en Colombie en 2026 : ce qu'il faut savoir

Image
La Colombie s'apprête ce mois-ci à vivre une élection présidentielle décisive, où les clivages politiques sont clairement marqués et qui aura des répercussions considérables sur l'orientation politique future du pays. Trois visions différentes s'affrontent pour la présidence. Le paysage politique À gauche se trouve Iván Cepeda, qui prône la poursuite et l'approfondissement du programme de réformes du président Gustavo Petro (le premier président de gauche de l'histoire de la Colombie). L'accent est mis sur la justice sociale, la protection de l'environnement, les changements économiques structurels et la stratégie de la « paix totale », c'est-à-dire les négociations avec les groupes armés. Même si les résultats de cette stratégie de paix sont bien moins probants qu'espéré, des progrès concrets ont été enregistrés dans certaines régions, par exemple des cessez-le-feu locaux et une réduction de la violence dans les zones sous l'influence de groupes...

Tour of the Month: Football in the Comuna 8

Image
Colombia is the land of coffee, music and football, characterised by stunning natural beauty, great diversity and an innovative spirit. It is a fascinating and multifaceted country. Even though Tejo is our national sport, we Colombians love football. And we have some true legends: Radamel Falcao, James Rodríguez, Carlos ‘El Pibe’ Valderrama, Linda Caicedo, René Higuita, Luis Díaz… to name but a few. Football brings the whole country together. There is hardly anything more special than experiencing a match involving the Colombian national team in the country. For 90 minutes, the country comes to a standstill, in a positive sense. People come together to support our 11 players, who make us proud every time they take to the pitch. Football is played everywhere: in every region, every city and every neighbourhood. With a simple ball and makeshift goals made from shoes, or in large stadiums with professional teams. Football knows no boundaries and no social divides; it is a language that un...

Searching for the Spectacled Bear in Colombia

Image
Just a few days ago, almost the entire Kiubo team embarked on a full-day excursion to Chingaza National Park, located east of Bogota and right at our doorstep. The goal of this expedition was ambitious – to witness the spectacled bear , the only bear species in South America, native to Colombia, with our own eyes. These bears thrive in the remote, high-altitude Paramo ecosystems, where they find abundant food. Kiubo Colombia in Chingaza Early in the morni ng, we set out to the national park east of Bogota. Over 80% of the excellent-quality drinking water , supplied to approximately 10 million residents, is sourced from this park through massive pipelines. Amidst impressive landsca pes, mostly at elevations exceeding 3000 meters above sea level, we observed various animal species throughout the day. An Andean condor approached us to within about 300 meters, a golden eagle soared past us with rapid speed, and we spotted several white-tailed deer along the way . Boundless landscapes ...
