Government of Colombia collapses after a meeting broadcast live: ‘unsustainable’

Thousands of Colombians on social networks and TV channels have observed various moments of tension.

On the morning of Wednesday, at least two renunciations had already been announced.

Jorge Rojas, Dapre’s head, an entity that executes large state budgets, told W Radio that he decided to move away from the government.

“The events do not allow me to continue,” one of the people closest to Petro told W Radio.

The Minister of Culture, Juan David Correa, also presented his “irrevocable” resignation, according to a letter to which AFP had access.

At the Board of Ministers, Vice-President Francia Márquez and the Minister of the Environment, Susana Muhamad, invested against Benedetti, who despite the investigations against him was Colombian ambassador in Caracas and FAO.
