Angie Rodriguez says that Petro points to her for psychiatric problems when "the person who needs help the most is him"

Angie Rodríguez, director of the Administrative Department of the Presidency, responded to accusations made by President Gustavo Petro against her, which included claims that she has psychiatric issues. Despite being declared 'insubsistent' (effectively dismissed), Rodríguez could not be removed from her position due to a medical condition. She stated that she is undergoing treatment for anxiety and depression, attributing these conditions to the harassment she faced from Petro. Petro accused her of manipulating public funds and criticized the traditional press for spreading false information. The controversy highlights tensions within the administration ahead of the upcoming presidential transition.

Bias read (Center): The article presents both perspectives—Rodríguez's claim of being targeted by Petro and Petro's allegations against her—without overtly favoring one side. It includes direct quotes from both parties and does not exhibit clear biased language or selective sourcing.
