Karol G urges De la Espriella to govern 'for everyone' and move beyond polarization in Colombia
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Bogotá — Colombian singer Karol G published an open letter addressed to the elected president of Colombia, Abelardo de la Espriella, urging him to govern 'for everyone,' listen to both his supporters and those who backed other candidates, and remember that power 'is not a trophy' but 'a responsibility.' In the text shared on her X account a week after the presidential runoff, the artist states she is not writing 'as a supporter' or 'as an opponent,' but 'as a Colombian who deeply loves her country,' and emphasizes that after the elections, 'the campaign has ended' and now begins 'the hardest part: governing for everyone.' Carolina Giraldo (Karol G's real name) notes that while 12.9 million Colombians supported the new president and another 12.7 million voted for leftist Iván Cepeda, all share the desire to live in 'a safer, fairer country with more opportunities and less hatred.' In this regard, the artist urges the elected president to also listen to those who did not support him at the polls and to govern 'for Colombia' and not 'for a party, an ideology, or a sector.' 'I want to ask you to remember, every day, that the power you received a week ago is not a trophy, it is not a prize, it is a responsibility,' the performer wrote in one of the most notable sections of the letter.
