Colombia: President calls for the resignation of his entire government

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has called for the resignation of his entire government, two of his ministers told AFP on Wednesday.

This announcement comes in a difficult context for the Colombian government which is seeking to have its bills approved in Congress, according to these two ministers.

The request was not formalized by Mr. Petro, the country's first left-wing president, who spoke on Twitter on Tuesday of a "government overhaul", after ending alliances with the main traditional parties.
