Colombian President to eliminate woke ideology from public media

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella announced on October 28 that he will remove woke ideology from the country's public media. Speaking during the relaunch of the public media system under the name Radio Televisión Nacional de Colombia (RTVC), De la Espriella stated that state media will not serve any agenda intended to impose the views of a specific group or use gender ideology to influence children and young people.

The president noted that the public television system belongs to the Colombian people rather than the president, government ministers, or political parties. This announcement follows a mid-October critique in which De la Espriella characterized woke ideology as a promoter of moral relativism that ignores biological differences between men and women.

The media system was previously known as RTVC from 2004 until April, when former president Gustavo Petro changed the name to Inravisión.
