How different viewpoints frame this

Progressive

De la Espriella’s victory marks a setback for Petro’s progressive agenda and “total peace” dialogue policy.

“Emphasizes threat to social dialogue and redistribution from rightward shift and Trump endorsement.”

Conservative

Voters rejected Petro’s left-wing policies in favor of a Trump-endorsed outsider focused on security.

“Highlights institutional resistance from Petro and Cepeda until the recount confirmed the result.”

Libertarian

Rejection of expanded state negotiations with armed groups reduces government discretion over security and property.

“Stresses value of institutional checks like the recount and outsider status over entrenched networks.”

Devil's Advocate

All three views overstate ideological rejection and understate routine post-election procedures or anti-incumbent economic factors.

“Notes missing data on turnout, homicide trends, and concrete policy positions that would test the 'outsider conservative' label.”
