COLOMBIA: Petro loses top ministers as cabinet row deepens
Colombia’s government is adrift after President Gustavo Petro requested the resignation of his ministerial team on 9 February, in the wake of a televised cabinet meeting that laid bare the dysfunction of his administration [WR-25-05]. Petro seemed like he may have been regretting this decision three days later, saying that his demand for resignations was a procedural move that should not significantly impact the composition of his government. By then it was a bit late. Several key ministers had taken the opportunity to jump ship. Those who have announced their irrevocable resignations include the ministers of defence, the interior, the environment, labour, and culture.
