Colombia’s political landscape shifted this week after a populist businessman who’s being compared to Trump outperformed established contenders in the first round of the presidential election. Rodolfo Hernández, who once praised Hitler and sees women as housewives, has a good chance of defeating the left’s Gustavo Petro at the runoff.
In the US, yet another mass shooting made headlines, this time in Tulsa (Oklahoma). Figures show that there has been a daily average this year of 1.5 mass shootings, which could make 2022 a record year for gun violence. News were also dominated by the verdict in the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard case. We analyzed the decision and what it means for both parties.
This week we also feature an in-depth story about “the opium vampires,” people who travel from far and wide to remote areas of Spain in search of the white poppies that grow wild in abandoned fields.
We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from EL PAÍS English Edition. Thanks for reading.
