Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced Wednesday that he has replaced seven ministers, hours after asking his entire cabinet to resign due to his difficulties in pushing ambitious reforms through Congress.
"Today a new cabinet is being built that will help to consolidate the government's program," Petro wrote in a statement published on his official Twitter account.
Among those replaced was liberal Finance Minister Jose Antonio Ocampo.
