Alberto Lleras Camargo
Alberto Lleras Camargo was a prominent Colombian politician and journalist who served as the President of Colombia from 1958 to 1962. As a key figure in Colombian politics, he was instrumental in the establishment of the Frente Nacional, a political agreement aimed at promoting peace and cooperation between the Liberal and Conservative parties during a period of intense political violence. Lleras was also a founding member of the Organization of American States (OAS) and a strong advocate for regional integration. His presidency is noted for efforts to modernize the country and improve relations with the United States, making the recent revelation of CIA interest in recruiting him during the Cold War particularly significant.
