Reported claim

“De la Espriella's coalition faces severe constraints in implementing its economic agenda because his party controls only 4 senate seats and one representative in Congress, making his ambitious plans to cut spending by 40%, close 9 ministries, and lay off 700,000 government employees politically unviable.”

Held steady; reporting was consistent but did not move the assessment.
