\nIn the last couple of weeks, the new Colombian government has been remarkably active in its foreign policy and international scenarios, and its actions have led to controversy. The country was absent from the OAS plenary on condemning human rights abuses in Nicaragua. The president signed a letter of support to the Argentinian vice-president, currently subject to judicial investigation and for whom a prosecutor requested 12 years in prison; and days later, it called for a negotiated agreement to the conflict in Ukraine in what seemed to equate both parties instead of condemning the Russian aggression. Finally, diplomatic relationships with Venezuela were re-established. In this show, \xc1lvaro Salgado discusses with host Nicol\xe1s Sussmann if this is the expectation from what promised to be a new left, or more of the same where the left in Latin America turns a blind eye to the abuses of its allies to establish a solid block.
