It was not the International Conference on Venezuela that Gustavo Petro expected. The dust raised by the expulsion of Juan Guaidó, former interim president and leader of Voluntad Popular, attracted more interest than the meeting of a score of foreign delegations invited to the meeting.
Petro, driven by his mission of "total peace", will resume dialogue with FARC dissidents. He buried his parliamentary alliance and changed chips in his cabinet again. He fired three ministers and on Wednesday he dispensed with seven more.
