COThe former Colombian Minister of Justice, Jorge Iván Cuervo, spoke exclusively with SEMANA about his five-month tenure in office, highlighting achievements such as advancing agricultural jurisdiction reforms, updating drug policy approaches, and implementing legal measures like free gender identity registration changes. He stepped down after expressing views on the political status of FARC dissidents and the president’s authority to appoint notaries. Cuervo warned the incoming government under Abelardo De La Espriella about potential risks if negotiations with armed groups were abandoned, emphasizing concerns over national security.
