哥伦比亚总统阿贝拉多·德拉埃斯普里耶拉在明年预算问题遭遇挫折后解职了内政部长，此举引发外界对其政府推进财政议程、安抚投资者对国家财政信心能力的质疑。
President Abelardo de la Espriella replaced his interior minister after a setback over next year’s budget raised questions over his government’s ability to advance its fiscal agenda and reassure investors over the nation’s finances.
埃斯普里耶拉周三深夜在X平台发文表示，亚历杭德罗·奥尔多涅斯将接替罗德里戈·拉拉出任内政部长。
De la Espriella said in an X post late Wednesday night that Alejandro Ordóñez will replace Rodrigo Lara.
埃斯普里耶拉未说明替换拉拉的原因，但内政部长的一项关键职责是管理政府在国会的政治议程。
While De la Espriella’s didn’t provide a reason for replacing Lara, one of the interior minister’s key roles is managing the admistration’s political agenda in congress.
此举发生在参众两院虽在10月20日截止日期前分别通过了2027年预算的不同版本，却未能协调一致，迫使埃斯普里耶拉以法令形式通过约2000亿美元预算之后。副总统何塞·曼努埃尔·雷斯特雷波当天早些时候曾敦促投资者和债券持有人在该过程中保持冷静。
The move comes after the Senate and Lower House approved different versions of the 2027 budget by the Oct. 20 deadline but failed to reconcile them, forcing De la Espriella to pass the roughly $200 billion budget by decree. Vice President José Manuel Restrepo earlier in the day urged investors and bondholders to remain calm during the process.
埃斯普里耶拉政府目前正准备提交一项财政调整法案，旨在将预算赤字削减超过国内生产总值的2%。
De la Espriella’s government is now preparing to present a fiscal adjustment bill aimed at reducing the budget deficit by more than 2% of gross domestic product.
奥尔多涅斯以其坚定的保守天主教信仰著称，是哥伦比亚最著名的反堕胎和反同性婚姻人士之一。这可能会疏远部分中间派议员，使其在国会推动立法的任务更加复杂。
Ordóñez, known for his strong conservative Catholic beliefs, is one of Colombia’s most prominent opponents of abortion and same-sex marriage. This could potentially alienate some centrist lawmakers, complicating his task of getting legislation through congress.
“政府在拿一手烂牌却过度出牌，日后不应抱怨其法案在立法机构或法院遭否决，”哥伦比亚风险分析公司创始人塞尔吉奥·古兹曼表示，“政府似乎忽视了一个事实：它缺乏稳固多数，且是以微弱优势赢得总统职位的。”投资者正密切关注其政府能否获得国会对该立法的批准，以及其寻求国际货币基金组织援助的计划。
“The government is overplaying a weak hand and cannot complain later when its bills are defeated in the legislature or the courts,” said Sergio Guzman, the founder of Colombia Risk Analysis. “The government seems to overlook the fact that it lacks solid majorities and that it won the presidency by a narrow margin.”Investors are closely watching his administration’s ability to secure congressional approval for that legislation, alongside its plans to seek assistance from the International Monetary Fund.
