I understand that "derecho de petición" is, in most contexts, "right to petition" i.e. one's right to petition the government on one's own behalf. However, in this sentence:
En este sentido, reiteró una solicitud que ya se hizo al ministerio, e incluso se comunicó vía derecho de petición, sobre la urgencia de vincular al ministerio del Interior, y su Dirección para la Democracia, Participación Ciudadana y Acción Comunal, con el fin de que se tenga un ente mediador, dada la relevancia y “sensibilidad” del proceso.
They are clearly talking about a specific ACTION that was taken, not a right... any ideas?

Hi Wendy, I thought so.
Have you looked for examples of this online?
I've often heard "presentar un derecho de petición" in the case of patients who haven't received medical care, so they "file a claim" with the "superintendencia de salud" to get the EPS [Empresa Promotora de Salud] to take proper action.
I hope you'll find this useful.
