Gustavo Petro claimed that Abelardo had deceived Caldas, Risaralda, and Quindio by allowing, as he said, private interests to benefit from public goods in the coffee region. He maintained that the region should not limit the mobility of those who worked there and that he decided to remove the tolls when the concession contract expired, instead of extending it. Petro rejected what he attributed to the minister of the Char clan: that the State could not maintain the roads. He pointed out that most states in the world did so and that maintenance was cheaper with a larger extent of railroads. He also stated that in Colombia, concessions were financed with tolls, but the State paid concessions separately for construction. Additionally, he accused Abelardo of withdrawing funds from the Palestine airport and leaving it frozen again, as well as extending the road concession and maintaining tolls that, according to Petro, only enriched their owners. He added that turning labor products into income for corrupt individuals impoverished workers and the entire region. https://t.co/OpQYhP8vTf #Colombia #LibreMovilidad #Corrupción (translated)

Héctor Suárez Gomís questioned Viri Ríos for, according to him, confusing the payment of taxes with demanding that resources be reflected in public services, such as pothole-free streets. He argued that holding the government accountable for maintenance was not hypocrisy and listed taxes such as the ISR, VAT, IEPS, property tax, and vehicle tax. He also stated that the poor condition of the streets forced citizens to cover private medical expenses and repairs for their vehicles, and mentioned that changing all four tires every year could be a consequence of those conditions. Suárez Gomís pointed out that studying at Harvard did not guarantee an understanding that public money belonged to the citizens and that officials should be held accountable. He urged Ríos to demand answers from Adán Augusto and criticized him for refusing to make statements. Additionally, he accused those who reported potholes and opposed the property tax of being inconsistent and argued that citizens demanded punctuality from taxpayers while tolerating, according to him, government ineptitude. #Impuestos #Gobierno #ServiciosPúblicos (translated)

Guille G. Alfonsín described the presentation of the Tesla Roadster as a very effective advertising maneuver to showcase the company's technical capabilities and attract attention, although he noted that the vehicle presented did not match the 2+2 convertible electric sports car reserved by customers in 2017. According to what he wrote, the model had initially been promised for 2020 and, nine years later, Tesla announced another two years of waiting. Alfonsín highlighted the engineering of the demonstration but warned that marketing a vehicle capable of controlled flight would require aeronautical certifications and operating authorizations, in addition to road homologation. He also raised doubts about the use on open roads of fans that generate aerodynamic lift by sucking air underneath the vehicle, due to the risk of expelling dust, gravel, and stones at other users. The engineer considered the demonstration technically notable, but questioned the commercial value of the product and the delay for those who had reserved the car. He stated that Elon Musk continued to make promises and delivered only a part of what was announced. Alfonsín said he would analyze the technical aspects in the PowerArt videocast and in upcoming videos. #Tesla #Roadster #Ingeniería (translated)
