The former Minister of Finance, José Antonio Ocampo, gave the go-ahead to the entire election process of Germán Bahamón as the new manager of the National Federation of Coffee Growers. And he did it contrary to what President Gustavo Petro wanted. And although he did criticize a part of the process, since he said that there were a lack of women, it remained in the environment that there is a short circuit between Ocampo and Petro. And in the Palace they confirmed it.
Verónica and Petro on tablecloths with the kings
The First Lady, Veronica Alconcer, will accompany President Gustavo Petro on his state visit to Spain. In fact, it is already known that on Wednesday, at 2 in the followingnoon –Spanish time– they will be received at the Palacio de la Zarzuela for a private lunch with the kings Felipe and Leticia. An act of great symbolism, since Petro has always spoken of the monarchy as something sent to be picked up. Will he tell the monarch?
No one was consulted…
This week, at the diplomatic summit on Venezuela convened by President Gustavo Petro in Bogotá, an issue that is not minor happened. Several of the foreign ministers of the 20 countries that attended began to retire to their hotels following the meeting ended and assuming that there would be no statement. In fact, Foreign Minister Álvaro Leyva never told them that there would be. For this reason, when the minister came out to read a statement, several were surprised; some were even already in their hotels. One of them was the delegate from Chile, who found out regarding it practically on television.
The silver mess for diplomacy
The Paisa businessmen consulted the United States ambassador, Francisco Palmieri, regarding the possibility of their country opening a consulate in Medellín. The diplomat responded that if the decision depended on him, he would not only open one in Medellín, but also in Cali, Cartagena and other cities. But he admitted that the budget issue is not easy and that putting this type of facility into operation requires significant amounts that are not available. Palmieri, who this week was in the capital of Antioquia at the meeting of the Antioquia-Caldas Colombian American Chamber of Commerce, was drinking a dark soda. THE COLOMBIAN asked him if it was Pepsi or Coca Cola, to which he replied. “The drink I like is Colombian.”
The Vice leaves in search of a direct flight
Although it is still not clear what date in May Vice President Francia Márquez is traveling to a tour of Africa, nor who will accompany her, there is an almost fixed point to discuss on her agenda. De Buena Fuente learned that the feasibility of having a direct flight between Bogotá and Johannesburg (South Africa) is being analyzed, which will reduce times and costs so that those interested in doing business can move faster.
The controversial petrista bet
Despite everything, and once morest the suggestions of several strategists, the Historical Pact formalized Maximo Noriega as his candidate for Governor of the Atlantic. He is the same character that appears in the compromising WhatsApp messages between Nicolás Petro, the President’s eldest son, and his ex-wife Day Vásquez. According to those chats, Noriega knew of possible irregular movements of money from Petro, the son. The endorsement protects you.
