Colombia: Pedraza alleges fake degrees of Culture, Health ministers

Colombian political figure Pedraza has publicly accused Culture Minister Paola Holguín and Health Minister Ana María Vesga of holding fraudulent academic credentials, reopening a national debate on meritocracy under President De la Espriella. The claim is unverified and likely politically motivated, but it could trigger a government crisis if corroborated. The episode underscores the fragility of the administration's reform agenda.
