Former attorney general, senator, and Colombian ambassador to France, Viviane Morales, has returned to President Abelardo de la Espriella’s government as peace commissioner. She was tasked with reviewing Colombia’s peace policies and dismantling what his administration calls the “false peace” promoted by former President Gustavo Petro.
Her responsibilities include examining compliance with peace commitments, reviewing public spending, and identifying institutional failures affecting justice, victims’ reparations, and security. This appointment follows the termination of inherited peace negotiations and comes less than two months after her resignation from the education ministry due to a family situation.
