What is a "mafia peace"? According to the Hernán Echavarría Olózaga Institute of Political Science (ICP), it is "a criminal order where open lethal violence is no longer necessary because social control is already consolidated." The worrying thing is that, after presidential elections, 15 departments and 42 municipalities are at risk in the midst of that "peace". The document, titled Voting with Fear: Signs of Interference and Criminal Coercion in the 2026 Election, collects reports from 126 observers in different regions of the country and concludes that in several territories, during the legislative elections, there were conditions that affected the free exercise of the vote.
