Civilianization -- a dirty word in Colombia?

Consider Semana's article headlined "Purge in the Military and Police Criminal Justice System: The Petro Government swept away Public Force officials and brought in civilians." Excerpt:

In hushed tones and with surgical precision, President Gustavo Petro's government has allegedly dismantled the Military and Police Criminal Justice System (JPMP). The weakening of this justice system for members of the Armed Forces is believed to have been orchestrated by former Defense Minister Iván Velásquez and one of his closest associates, the current director of the JPMP, José Reyes Rodríguez.
