Colombian President Petro shakes up cabinet, appoints new finance minister.

TL;DR Summary
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has asked his coalition cabinet to resign as he seeks to reshuffle various ministers after his flagship health reform failed to reach the debate stage in the House of Representatives. Petro, Colombia's first leftist president, has faced opposition from centrist and right-wing parties in his cabinet, leaving him unable to fulfill his promises of reforming healthcare, labor laws, pensions, and the judiciary. The planned cabinet reshuffle has been criticized by opponents and allies alike, creating an "unprecedented crisis."
