🇨🇴 The Colombian peso keeps losing ground… and it’s no surprise.
EUR/COP: 3.760,70
USD/COP: 3.309,15
Just in the last month:
+8,17% the euro
+5,84% the dollar
When the dollar hit 3.100, I said it clearly:
if you’re Colombian and you still haven’t moved, the market is leaving you behind.
The new government’s policies are already being felt in your wallet. Devaluation isn’t theory—it’s daily reality.
Are you going to keep waiting for the peso to recover… or are you going to protect your money?
The story repeats itself.
The difference is who acts in time.

🇨🇴Colombia and 🇵🇹Portugal have enough attacking talent to break down any defense. Colombia often creates plenty of danger down the wings, and Portugal has players capable of scoring at any moment. My prediction for this match is that both teams will score at least one ⚽ goal.

$#BinancePickAndWin will be a tough match, but Colombia has players with the height/size for a match like this and they will know how to pull it off... I’m hoping for a 2-0 in favor of the coffee growers/Colombians... and they also have Colombian women of world-class level, heheeeeee

🌍 Fact Check: UK–Colombia–Israel Diplomatic Relations:

Recent online claims suggesting that the United Kingdom and Colombia are jointly launching a complete boycott of diplomatic relations with Israel are misleading.
✅ Colombia formally severed diplomatic relations with Israel in May 2024 under President Gustavo Petro's administration over the Gaza conflict.
❌ The United Kingdom has not announced a break in diplomatic relations with Israel. While London has criticized certain Israeli policies, imposed sanctions on some individuals, and paused aspects of cooperation, diplomatic relations between the UK and Israel remain in place.
As of July 2026, there is no official UK announcement supporting a total diplomatic boycott of Israel. The claim appears to conflate Colombia's policy with broader debates taking place in the UK.

🔥♒︎ 7.4-MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE HITS COLOMBIA AND ECUADOR » AT LEAST 111 DEAD » DOZENS OF BUILDINGS COLLAPSED AND HUNDREDS INJURED❗

✔️A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday (August 10), causing deaths, injuries, collapses, and chaos in several cities. The tremor was also felt in Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela.

✔️The epicenter was in the municipality of San José del Palmar, in the Chocó department, about 250 miles west of Bogotá.

Colombian President Abelardo De La Espriella confirmed at least 111 deaths and declared a national disaster to mobilize emergency resources.

✔️More than 1,600 buildings were damaged nationwide. In Cali (Colombia’s third-largest city), Mayor Alejandro Eder said at least 20 buildings collapsed, with people trapped in the rubble.
Rescue teams have set up tents to coordinate the search operations. In the Valle del Cauca department, Governor Dilian Francisca Toro confirmed 27 deaths, including three children. In Chocó, the governor reported 12 deaths and 84 injuries. In Pereira, 18 people died.

✔️In Manizales, at least 2 people died. The airports in Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó, Armenia, Cartago, and Buenaventura suspended operations due to structural damage. Witnesses described the quake as extremely strong and prolonged. Many reported difficulty getting out of buildings and fear of aftershocks. Colombia’s Geological Service classified the event as the strongest in the country this century.

📋⚠️Context and Impact

The tragedy occurs less than two months after strong earthquakes in Venezuela that left thousands dead. The death toll in Colombia could still rise as rescue teams continue working amid the rubble.
