A few weeks before assuming the Presidency of Colombia, Abelardo De La Espriella presented the National Talent Bank of Patria Milagro, a digital platform that will allow any citizen to submit their resume to aspire to positions within the National Government. The announcement, made on Monday, July 13, seeks to prioritize merit over political recommendations, according to the president-elect. The platform will begin operating before his inauguration on August 7 and will remain active throughout his four-year term, becoming a permanent database of applicants for ministries, public entities, and strategic projects.
