An opinion piece in La Silla Vacía criticizes the Colombian government's security strategy, which emphasizes lethal outcomes (bombings, targeting leaders) as a measure of success. The author argues that this approach has not reduced violence, citing evidence that such tactics fail to bring peace. The piece reflects ongoing domestic debate over security policy amid persistent conflict with armed groups.
