Is Russia trying to meddle in Colombian presidential elections?

The problem of Russian interference in Colombia’s upcoming elections has become more alarming for many Colombian people and politicians.

Reports said Russia tries to seize the opportunity to improve its relations with Colombia, a key U.S. ally, to get involved into Latin America as the Pacto Historico Party is expected to win Colombia’s presidential election on May 29th.

Colombian Senator Paloma Valencia said Colombian Intelligence reportedly found that some sectors of the Russian regime might interfere in the country’s elections.

For his part, Jairo Libreros, Externado University Professor and Political Analyst, said Russia had intervened in the U.S elections and BREXIT polls in 2016. However, he added that there is no clear interest in Russia in Colombia.
