The Councillor for Stabilization and Consolidation, Emilio Archila, presented his resignation from office to President Iván Duque on Monday, April 18. The official had the task of implementing the Final Peace Agreement that was signed in 2016, especially with the reintegration into civil society of the former combatants of the extinct FARC guerrilla.
Archila made the announcement in the afternoon during the Council of Ministers at the Casa de Nariño. The reasons behind his letter of resignation have to do with his aspiration to the deanship of the law school of the Externado de Colombia University. The counselor was a professor at the same educational institution and there he earned his degree as a lawyer.
In fact, Archila spoke to W Radio about this new career path. The official of Duque's cabinet said prior to his resignation that, he has “every expectation that the students and teachers of the institution will choose him as dean”, according to the radio media outlet.
Sources close to Caracol Radio assured that the president will accept Archila's resignation and even has Ana María Palau, who is currently the Councillor for the Regions, contemplated for the post.
It should be recalled that Archila accompanied President Duque to the United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York, United States. The counselor supported the head of state in presenting the implementation of the Final Peace Agreement during his administration to the Security Council of the organization mentioned above.
