Mention Álvaro Uribe to any Colombian and watch their face change. Rob tested this at a family get-together. He and Lis unpack why the former president still divides the country: the man many credit with opening Colombia up, the questions about what it cost, and the recent court case Rob still finds hard to believe.

Do you know what these mean?
un tema caliente · por molestar · dejar una ventana abierta · los fines justifican los medios

Hear it, then see it. Follow along with the transcript and translations:

Bonus: Rob calls Uribe "muy divisa". Why does Lis stop him? The answer's in the notes.
