Bottom Line Up Front

Today’s verdict: Colombia’s presidential handover has collapsed — the president-elect declared the transition over and is routing around the outgoing government — while Peru opens a rewrite of its migration policy and the World Cup quarter-finals begin.

Colombia’s handover collapses. President-elect De la Espriella declared the transition over, saying he will get the state’s data by other means. His team is instead working with the comptroller’s office, and the cabinet has grown to ten ministers.

Peru rewrites its migration policy. The foreign ministry has set up a multisectoral group to update the national migration policy. Nothing changes at the border now, but the nomad-visa framework is under review.

The quarter-finals begin. France play Morocco today, and Argentina, the region’s last team, face Switzerland on Saturday. The tournament runs to its climax over the next two weeks.
