Colombian election loser threatens ‘civil disobedience’ if winner does not ditch US citizenship

Colombian Senator Iván Cepeda, who lost the presidential election, threatened civil disobedience if Abelardo de la Espriella, the winner, does not renounce his U.S. citizenship and address claims of U.S. ties. Cepeda accused de la Espriella of being an 'agent' of the U.S. due to his defense of a paramilitary leader linked to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and demanded he halt efforts to extradite outgoing President Gustavo Petro.
