Petro Requests Resignation of Entire Cabinet Amid Colombia Government Crisis
Colombia OneFEB 2025
As if violence in northeastern Colombia and a diplomatic crisis with Trump were not enough trouble, Petro is facing an internal cabinet rebellion and has lost credibility among citizens. His supporters may claim that he has exposed officials who were working for their own benefit, but Petro now risks being unable to govern.
It's only natural that ministers are quitting the government after Petro called them to submit formal resignations — and this is actually good for Colombia. Petro has only 18 months left in his presidential term and much work to do to fulfill the program people voted for, so those in charge must be committed to the government's agenda.
