Mafe Carrascal Rojas criticized the Government of De la Espriella for its treatment of San Andrés and Providencia. She stated that it had staged a spectacle against the governor and a representative without presenting evidence, while governing alongside political clans that she labeled as corrupt. She also claimed that all the government budget proposals reduced real terms investment in San Andrés and Providencia compared to 2026. 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. Carrascal Rojas asked if this explained why Chocó, Vichada, and Atlántico —departments that, according to her, were among those losing the most investment— were some of the most ethnically diverse in the country. She called the government shameful and accused it of implementing austerity policies and being racist. #SanAndrés #InversiónPública #DesigualdadÉtnica (translated)
