More than 15 European lawmakers issued a letter condemning President Donald Trump's support for Colombian candidate De La Espriella, calling it interference in the democratic process.
The letter, addressed to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, states that such declarations constitute direct interference in Colombia's democratic process.
The lawmakers rejected any external intervention attempts and reaffirmed the European Union's commitment to peace, human rights and self-determination regardless of the election outcome.
The document stresses that the principles of self-determination, national sovereignty and non-interference are pillars of international law that must be respected. It adds that Colombians alone are responsible for deciding the country's direction through their vote.
