Pacto Histórico launches ‘Gabinete por la Vida’ to oppose De La Espriella
The Pacto Histórico political movement, led by former President Gustavo Petro and Senator Iván Cepeda, has officially launched the ‘Gabinete por la Vida’ (Cabinet for Life) in Bogotá. This new political structure is designed to serve as a formal opposition body to the administration of President Abelardo De La Espriella.
Inspired by the British parliamentary ‘shadow cabinet’ model, the group is composed of former ministers and high-ranking officials from the previous Petro administration. Its primary functions include monitoring government decisions, conducting technical oversight of public policies, and proposing alternative solutions to national challenges, such as the ongoing drought and recent earthquake recovery.
In a separate development, the Pacto Histórico has nominated Cielo Rusinque and Ana Jimena Bautista Revelo as candidates for the National Electoral Council (CNE). The party seeks to secure a majority within the CNE to protect its interests following significant sanctions imposed by the council on the 2022-2026 Petro presidential campaign for exceeding spending limits.
