NewzThe Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has officially renamed a space within its headquarters, removing the name of indigenous leader Quintín Lame and restoring its previous designation as the Patio de los Novios. The decision is being framed by the administration of President De la Espriella as part of a broader ideological effort to counter what it characterizes as 'wokism.'
The change has reignited national discourse regarding historical memory, cultural representation, and the management of state-owned heritage sites. The move marks a shift in the government's approach to how public spaces are named and the symbolic weight attributed to figures of indigenous history versus traditional institutional nomenclature.
