💨 Abstract

Colombia's President Gustavo Petro appointed Armando Benedetti as the new Interior Minister despite past scandals and opposition from cabinet members. Benedetti replaces Juan Fernando Cristo and is known for his role as Petro's head of office and close advisor. He faces allegations of violence against women and influence peddling, which he denies. Benedetti is expected to help Petro push complex reforms, including those for the health system, through congress.
