Abelardo De La Espriella's government abolished all the vice-ministries of the Ministry of Equality

The 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. Rodríguez emphasized transparency and presented initial results of the liquidation process, noting the ministry was historically large, inefficient, and underperformed in serving vulnerable populations.

During a visit to Colombia, Yehuda Kaploun, the U.S. Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism, addressed criticisms from former President Gustavo Petro regarding Israel.

A right-wing activist named Josías Fiesco has asked the Supreme Court of Justice to review statements made by Senator Isabel Cristina Zuleta of the Historical Pact party, which have sparked controversy.

De la Espriella did not say "my homeland is America"; viral audio is AI

Un video viral en redes sociales mostraba audios supuestos del ex-presidente colombiano Abelardo de la Espriella, donde se atribuían declaraciones como 'mi patria es Estados Unidos', llamadas a bombardear Santander y críticas a líderes políticos. Sin embargo, estos audios fueron identificados como generados por inteligencia artificial mediante un análisis realizado por un laboratorio de seguridad e inteligencia artificial de la Universidad Northwestern. Cinco de cada siete modelos analizados concluyeron que los audios eran falsos, con alta precisión en sus hallazgos. Además, no se encontró ninguna fuente confiable que respaldara estas declaraciones, lo que refuerza la idea de que el contenido es falso.

Bias read (Center): El artículo presenta una evaluación técnica y objetiva de los audios, basándose en análisis de múltiples modelos de inteligencia artificial y no toma partido en favor o en contra de ninguna figura política específica.
