Colombian President Gustavo Petro has requested the resignation of all ministers and top officials, citing the need for cabinet changes to implement his government’s program effectively. “There will be some changes to better fulfill the people’s mandate,” Petro announced on social media.

Tensions have been rising within the government, with Petro criticizing ministers for delays in key projects. Controversial appointments, including former Venezuelan Ambassador Armando Benedetti and Foreign Minister Laura Sarabia, have sparked internal disputes. Environment Minister Susana Muhamad, Culture Minister Juan David Correa, and Labor Minister Gloria Ines Ramirez have already resigned due to political disagreements.
