Colombian president breaks alliance with the center and radicalizes to the left
Petro has called for the resignation of his cabinet and announced a break with the coalition of parties that have supported him since he came to power, forming an "emergency government"
The honeymoon with allies is over. The breakthrough comes nine months after he took over the presidency over controversial health care reform. Impatient with criticism from centrists who support him, Petro has turned left, radicalizing his government.
