En la apertura del voto en el exterior para las elecciones presidenciales colombianas, miles de ciudadanos en Miami, Washington y Londres encontraron no urnas, sino filas interminables y puertas cerradas. El padrón electoral en el extranjero creció un 45 por ciento desde 2022, pero la infraestructura no creció con él. Es una tensión tan antigua como la democracia misma: el derecho proclamado y el derecho ejercido no siempre llegan juntos al mismo lugar.
