COThe Colombian government has revoked a 2015 resolution that suspended the aerial spraying of glyphosate for eradicating illicit crops, though this does not automatically restart fumigations. The move allows for potential reintroduction of the chemical under environmental management plans and other legal requirements set by the Constitutional Court. Meanwhile, Vice President José Manuel Restrepo defended the 2027 budget proposal, which is significantly more expensive than the one submitted by former President Gustavo Petro, arguing against 'budgets of lies.' The new budget increases operational spending and debt while reducing investments in rural areas, subsidies, and health. Additionally, reports indicate that the number of contractors in the Ministry of Environment increased by 58% between 2022 and 2025, much lower than the 744% claimed by the president’s 'Book of Truth.' Lastly, the Attorney General’s Office maintains jurisdiction over the case involving former President Álvaro Uribe related to past massacres, despite calls from congressional committees to transfer the case.
