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)

Our profitability continues to be threatened by unfair competition and by a platform model that operates with free prices. A price increase does little good if we continue to lose services while the number of VTCs competing with us increases. Alberto Álvarez, alias Tito, founder of Élite Taxi, commented from his refuge on a Venezuelan Caribbean island, where he has been lately, that “our profitability continues to be threatened by unfair competition and by a platform model that operates with free prices. A price increase does little good if we continue to lose services while the number of VTCs competing with us increases.” Apparently, based on what was seen in these meetings - Álvarez stated - STAC and ATC are betting on the Madrid model, to legalize the thousands of VTCs that are already demanding their regularization in the courts instead of proposing that they can become taxi drivers. We cannot negotiate a few cents of increase while leaving unanswered the possibility that thousands of VTCs obtain urban authorization and compete with us with free prices in the hands of the platforms. This shows that the narrative of Aliança Catalana, VOX, and Junts is taking hold in the sector.
