SemanaIndependentConservative4 hr. ago Abelardo De La Espriella's government abolished all the vice-ministries of the Ministry of EqualityThe article reports that the government of President Abelardo De La Espriella has moved to dissolve the Ministry of Equality by eliminating all its deputy ministries. The task was assigned to former senator John Milton Rodríguez, who has been working on this process. Rodríguez issued a resolution that immediately removed the positions of deputy ministers responsible for Youth, Women, Ethnic and Rural Communities, Excluded Populations, and Diversity. The document states that no new activities related to the ministry’s functions can be initiated, and contracts must be justified as necessary for the liquidation process. It also prohibits third-party involvement in mission-related tasks. The decision follows a Constitutional Court ruling that declared the law creating the Ministry of Equality unconstitutional until after President Gustavo Petro’s term ended, which Congress failed to address.
