NewzJuan Fernando Cristo, former minister of the interior under the administration of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, publicly criticized the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (Icbf). His rebuke was directed at an instruction issued by the institute's new director, Carolina Restrepo, regarding the exclusion of the word "niña" (girl) from the institution's official language.
Cristo rejected the directive, telling the Icbf not to "override the law" through this linguistic change. The dispute centers on institutional terminology and governance within the state agency responsible for family and child welfare in Colombia.
