NewzMajor General Alejandro Barrera Peña, Director of the Colombian National Police, has alleged that the administration of President Gustavo Petro implemented policies intended to weaken the state's intelligence capabilities. According to Barrera Peña, these measures included the reassignment of specialized personnel, which reportedly diminished the operational effectiveness of intelligence units.
The claims highlight a significant tension regarding the management of national security apparatuses under the current government. By characterizing the personnel shifts as a deliberate effort to reduce state intelligence capacity, the director has brought internal administrative decisions into the public sphere as a matter of national security policy.
