Colombia's Environment Minister Resigns Amid Cabinet Crisis, More Departures Expected

Colombia's Environment Minister Susana Muhamad has resigned, marking the third departure from President Gustavo Petro's cabinet in recent days. Muhamad announced her decision in a YouTube interview on Sunday, following a tumultuous cabinet meeting last week that ended in recriminations and tears. The resignations of Jorge Rojas, head of the presidency's administrative department, and Culture Minister Juan David Correa preceded Muhamad's departure. Muhamad suggested that further resignations are likely as Petro enters the final stage of his term before the 2026 elections.
