Protests break out in Cali, Colombia, after the country’s presidential election is decided by a razor-thin margin. Multiple outlets report that Abelardo de la Espriella, described as a hard-right candidate and endorsed by Donald Trump, wins the presidency. Following the result, thousands of protesters take to the streets and burn US flags. Police move to control the demonstrations and disperse crowds using tear gas, according to one report. The protesters also clash with riot police during the unrest. The accounts describe the violence as street-level confrontations between protesters and law enforcement in Cali in the hours after the election outcome. The reports link the demonstrations to dissatisfaction with the result and to the prominence of the United States in the political narrative around the election, reflected in the flag-burning. While the sources do not provide detailed casualty figures or statements from all parties, they consistently describe the same sequence: the election result, mass protests in Cali, US flag burning, and police use of tear gas to disperse protesters.
