'Resurrecting' the old ones: the cabinet of the miracle homeland

The article critiques the Colombian government's new cabinet, describing it as a continuation of existing power structures rather than a genuine change. It uses metaphorical language comparing political maneuvers to biblical miracles, suggesting that these 'miracles' are more about maintaining influence through family connections and inherited privilege rather than merit-based appointments. The piece highlights figures like Carlos Alonso Lucio, who has a controversial past but now holds a prominent position, and other ministers whose roles are linked to their familial ties to influential politicians. The author implies that this system perpetuates inequality by disguising inherited advantages as rewards for personal merit.
