Yuri Carolina Calderón is a journalist and former head of press at the Departamento Administrativo de la Presidencia de la República (Dapre) in Colombia. She recently made headlines after publicly denouncing a wave of dismissals from her department, which she characterized as a harsh and unexpected action against employees who were not given adequate notice or support. Calderón expressed her concerns regarding the implications of these firings, especially in light of President Gustavo Petro's previous commitments to uphold human and labor rights.
