Colombian President Gustavo Petro conceded in a television interview that he may have made mistakes in reshuffling military and police leadership during his term, acknowledging both wrongful dismissals and failures to remove problematic officers. Since taking office in August 2022, nearly 100 officers have departed the Armed Forces and Police, including a major 2026 personnel reorganization affecting 49 officers with 20+ years of service, which has drawn complaints about procedural irregularities and documentation inconsistencies.
