Colombia is set to undergo a significant shift in its security model under De la Espriella, who aims to replace the concept of total peace with a more aggressive stance involving military offensives and ultimatums.

This new strategy emphasizes decentralized territorial security, which poses its own set of challenges, particularly in terms of resource allocation and institutional support.

The success of this model will depend heavily on the government's ability to secure sustainable resources and establish effective institutions that can deliver lasting results.
