Snippet:
Gladys Marín is unsure if she will vote in Colombia’s presidential election due to safety fears. Her town in southwestern Colombia has endured frequent drone attacks, blamed on a rebel faction. Colombia will elect a new president and vice president on May 31, with the election seen as a referendum on President Gustavo Petro’s policies, including his “total peace” initiative.
