Colombia: Censure motion against Minvivienda, indictment of Miguel Quintero
El EspectadorLO·CO·about 16 hours ago
Colombia's Senate voted 61 against a motion of censure that would have removed Housing Minister Jaime Andrés Beltrán, sparing him from becoming the second minister to lose his post. The motion was dropped after Beltrán traveled to an earthquake-affected area, framing the trip as an emergency response. The vote signals political support for the minister amid a crisis, but the underlying political tension remains.
