Colombian President Gustavo Petro signed a decree formalizing the departure of Laura Sarabia as foreign minister and appointed Rosa Villavicencio as her replacement. The government continues to face challenges in the passport issuance process, with the National Printing Office not yet ready to take over production and ongoing investigations into alleged irregularities in passport processing. The Procuraduría has opened formal disciplinary investigations against Luis Gilberto Murillo, Laura Sarabia, and Alfredo Saade for potential violations related to passport issuance procedures. Meanwhile, the Fiscalía General de Colombia imposed precautionary measures including the seizure and suspension of two offices of the French-origin oil company Perenco in Bogotá, which is accused of financing paramilitary groups. Perenco denies these allegations. The embargoed assets inside the offices are valued at approximately $10 million. Additionally, President Petro has raised concerns about the transparency of the upcoming 2026 legislative and presidential elections. Citizens in Bogotá continue to experience difficulties with passport appointments and system issues, contributing to public uncertainty over the future of passport services.
