Floods Devastate Córdoba, Leaving Trail of Destruction and Displacement

President Gustavo Petro Alleges Conspiracy in Cocaine Incident

Torrential rains have unleashed devastation on northern Colombia, leaving a trail of death and displacement in its wake. The deluge that swept through departments like Cordoba and Sucre has left at least 22 people dead, over 120,000 displaced, and more than 50,000 families struggling for survival.

The Colombian Supreme Court has blocked President Gustavo Petro's historic declaration of an economic emergency, which would have given minimum wage workers their first-ever pay raises of up to COP $2,000,000. The ruling sends shockwaves throughout the country, echoing a long-standing theme of US influence in Colombian politics and economy.
