The Colombian president’s announcement comes just after the attorney general’s office decided to suspend Daniel Rojas Medellín for three months over the sale of the Triple A company.

The Comptroller will investigate whether there were irregularities in the sale of shares of the company Triple A in Barranquilla
If any type of offense has been committed from a disciplinary point of view, the tax control body will inform the office of the Attorney General of the Nation.
In this regard, he said:
“There are red line officials whom the corrupt give two alternatives: either they kneel down and get the ticket and lend the state to corruption, or they kill them. These red lines are a few officials that I have tried to choose very carefully, so that they are not afraid of the threat of death, nor are they allowed to kneel, sell themselves for drug money,” he said from the municipality of Sucré.
And then he added:
“In the case of SAE, I chose Daniel. And look at the result: a few weeks after its possession, an investigative body appears, which has never, ever, investigated the massive theft of mafia assets seized by politicians in power. And, on the other hand, when they started handing over the assets of these gangsters to the poor town, to the peasant town, to the flooded town at that time, then he started a whole new investigation and suspended the director of the entity.”
It should be noted that the investigation conducted by the Attorney General’s office against Daniel Rojas concerns the alleged violation of the contractual obligation to transfer the shares of Empresa de Acueducto y Alcantarillado y Aseo de Barranquilla (Triple A). He will be suspended from his duties for three months, according to the controlling entity.
But Gustavo Petro He went further and wondered if it was fair:
“It’s the first bell, barely; es el primer paso que han dado para intentar que no hagamos lo que prometimos en la plaza pública, y por lo cual 11 million y medio de poderosos votantes, hombres y mujeres y jóvenes y viejos” decidieron que era el momento de hacer el cambio en Colombia”.
The act of Saturday February 11 is the third which led the SAE In Sugar for the delivery of land in the municipalities of Sampués, San Marcos and San Benito Abad.
In Sampués, two properties were delivered: Bendición de Dios, with 77 hectares, to 25 peasant families. And La Esperanza, with 12 hectares, has 50 female heads of families. Likewise, in San Marcos, the 170-hectare El Paraíso property was ceded to 40 peasant families. “The productive projects that will be based on these properties seek to contribute to the popular economy and agrifood sovereignty,” the national government said.
Eventually, Gustavo Petro He invited the public to defend the changes proposed by his government: “they will be profound and the people must take to the streets to defend them and ensure that the pacts are respected. It’s not the Petro government, you’re the government, be careful with that definition, it’s the people who are in charge. In a democracy, the power holders are all of you. It’s the people”, concluded the head of state.
In turn, Daniel Rojas came out to defend himself against the investigation by the Attorney General’s office.
“It is time to join us, to be united because there is an elite who hates that we take the land from the gangsters and give it to the peasants, they hate that we guarantee the right to health because they have done their business,” the official said.
