Colombia JEP president warns budget cut, term shortening costly mistake

Yesid Reyes Alvarado, president of Colombia's Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), criticized the government's budget cut and any proposal to shorten the JEP's term, calling it a costly mistake. The JEP is a transitional justice body central to the 2016 peace accord, so this signals friction between the government and the peace process institutions. The outcome is uncertain, but it could undermine the peace process and affect political stability.
