He also pointed out a document from a foundation advising paramilitaries in which, he said, De la Espriella participated along with the current president of Ecopetrol, Joaquín Gutierrez.

She cited the Minister of Finance, Miguel Gómez Martínez, and noted that his grandfather, Laureano Gómez, had described the indigenous and African heritage as inferior.
