Carlos Rene Montoya, the newly appointed president of Colpensiones, has resigned just three days into his role, marking the fourth senior De la Espriella official to step down in less than two months. Montoya submitted his resignation following a contentious appearance before the Senate's Seventh Commission, where he struggled to answer lawmakers' questions regarding the pension system's budget and operations.
