Gustavo Petro's 'alternate cabinet' lashed out at the De la Espriella government over the increased budget for 2027: this is what they said

The Colombian government, led by Abelardo de la Espriella, has introduced a 2027 General National Budget project totaling $634.95 trillion. This figure represents a significant increase from the previously projected $545.4 trillion, a change that has sparked intense public debate and criticism from Gustavo Petro’s 'alternative cabinet.'

Critics of the current administration argue that the budget adjustment reflects underlying fiscal instability inherited from the previous Petro government. Finance Minister Miguel Gómez Martínez is overseeing the proposal, which has drawn scrutiny for its potential impact on national debt levels and long-term fiscal health.
