Con reglas definidas, Restrepo y Ávila llegan a la primera reunión de empalme
The transition between Colombia's outgoing and incoming governments has officially begun with the first meeting between Germán Ávila, the current Minister of Finance, and José Manuel Restrepo, the designated representative of the new government. The process starts amid President Gustavo Petro's absence on a trip to Italy and as Congress prepares to begin a new legislative term. Restrepo had previously outlined six conditions for the transition, emphasizing that it should not be limited to a 'simple transfer of documents.' These included appointing two officials per ministry as liaisons, establishing a schedule for meetings, creating mechanisms to track information, defining handling procedures for sensitive data, extending the transition until July 27, and involving the Office of the Attorney General and the Comptroller General. In response, Ávila confirmed the government would initiate the transition in an 'ordered, transparent, responsible, and respectful' manner. The government issued a directive outlining the rules for the transition, including forming a committee, setting up work plans, sectoral subcommittees, working tables, and recording all meetings.

De La Espriella quiere partido político propio y pone a prueba al CNE
Abelardo de La Espriella, recently declared president by the National Electoral Council (CNE), has begun forming his own political party called 'Defensores de La Patria.' The movement currently lacks legal recognition and cannot participate in future elections until the CNE formally acknowledges it. De La Espriella argues he has the right to establish the party due to receiving 12.9 million votes in the presidential election. However, the CNE faces challenges in recognizing new parties, as previous approvals were later overturned by the State Council due to procedural errors. Some CNE judges may favor granting recognition to align with political interests, especially since two judges aim to run in regional elections in 2027 and could benefit from supporting the president’s party. The formation of this party tests the CNE’s independence and adherence to strict legal requirements.

The tremors triggered more than 130 aftershocks, some exceeding magnitude 6. The most affected state, La Guaira, remains under military control with restricted access and limited media presence.

Damage includes collapsed buildings, trapped people and animals, and disruptions to communications and infrastructure across several states.

Desayune informado con las claves de este 3 de julio de 2026

Five days after being officially declared president by the National Electoral Council (CNE), Abelardo De la Espriella founded his political party 'Defensores de La Patria' to qualify for state funding and electoral endorsements.

Los términos de referencia para la nueva cabeza del sector salud
El artículo analiza el estado actual del sector de salud de Colombia bajo la administración anterior, destacando las preocupaciones sobre el aumento de tutelas (acciones legales) debido a las barreras en el acceso a los servicios de salud y una regresión en la protección financiera para los 10 millones de colombianos más pobres. El mandato de dos ex ministros, Carolina Corcho y Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo, es criticado por romper un acuerdo informal que mantuvo la atención médica fuera del conflicto político y debilitó la capacidad técnica dentro del sistema. El sector de la salud fue reconocido en toda América Latina por su eficiencia y bajo gasto per cápita mientras se mantienen altos indicadores de acceso. Sin embargo, las políticas recientes han llevado a una disminución en la gobernanza, la confianza y el rendimiento. El artículo enfatiza la necesidad de que el próximo ministro de salud priorice la independencia, la dirección estratégica y la gobernanza efectiva para abordar tanto las crisis inmediatas como los desafíos a largo plazo.
El Tino Asprilla convoca una multitudinaria cabalgata para “despedir” a Gustavo Petro

El anuncio generó fuertes reacciones en línea, con algunos lo viendo como una crítica festiva del gobierno actual y otros lo viendo como divisivo durante un período sensible de transición presidencial.
