Duque's chief of staff resigns

Duque’s chief of staff resigns
by Jack Norman April 25,

President Ivan Duque’s chief of staff resigned on Tuesday, raising questions about the stability and future of the administration, already in political turmoil.

Leading newspaper El Tiempo reported that coalition politicians have complained to Duque about Jorge Mario Eastman for having “virtually no communications with ex-President Alvaro Uribe and other heavyweights” of his far-right Democratic Center party.

The dynasty politician will be replaced with Duque’s personal secretary Maria Paula Correa, a former assistant secretary of Uribe, the president’s political patron.

According to conservative radio station La FM, Eastman has been blamed for Duque’s “reactive” administration without having a fixed policy outline.
