Statistical analysis of social networks is a predominant methodology in political science research. In this article we implement network methods to characterize the presidential inauguration speech and identify political communities in Colombia. We propose an empirical approach to analize the discursive structure of the heads of state and the configuration of alliance and work relationships between prominent figures of Colombian politics. Thus, we implement network methods from two perspectives, words and political actors. We conclude on the relevance of social network statistics to identify frequent and important terms in the communicative action of president figures, and to examine cohesion such discourses. Finally, we distinguish notable actors in the consolidation of working relationships and alliances as well as political communities.
