Laura Sarabia, Colombia's foreign minister and a close ally of President Gustavo Petro, resigned from her position on July 3, 2025, citing disagreements with recent government decisions. Sarabia, who had been one of Petro's most trusted aides since he took office in 2022 and was considered his right hand, stepped down amid controversy surrounding the handling of a contract for the issuance of passports. In her resignation letter, she expressed that she could not support certain decisions made in recent days due to personal coherence and institutional respect. Her departure marks the third foreign minister to resign during Petro's administration, following Álvaro Leyva and Luis Gilberto Murillo. The resignation has sparked political turbulence within the Colombian government and raised concerns about the country's foreign relations. Sarabia's tenure as foreign minister lasted just over five months, and her resignation highlights ongoing tensions within the cabinet and challenges in the management of key government contracts.
