Juliana Guerrero, a former official previously defended by President Gustavo Petro, has admitted to falsifying her academic credentials. This admission is proving costly for Petro and the stability of the governing coalition, known as the ‘Pacto.’ The scandal undermines Petro’s leadership, coming at a time when he already faces significant opposition, particularly from Abelardo. Guerrero’s actions have created a rift within the ‘Pacto,’ threatening its cohesion. The revelation raises questions about the vetting process for government appointments and adds to the challenges facing Petro’s administration in Colombia. This situation further isolates Petro politically as he navigates a complex political landscape. The case originated and was reported on by La Silla Vacía.
