Colombia appoints Ospina as EU ambassador, signaling political shift

Colombian President Abelardo has named Juan Gonzalo Ospina, his campaign coordinator in Spain and a close associate of right-wing activist Javier Negre, as ambassador to the European Union. The appointment signals a potential rightward tilt in Colombia's foreign policy and may strain relations with EU institutions given Ospina's controversial ties. The move is confirmed by Ospina's social media announcement, but official confirmation is pending.
