Hoy recibimos los informes finales de la Contraloría General de la República sobre la situación fiscal, administrativa y de gestión de distintos sectores del Estado. Los hallazgos son preocupantes. La Contraloría advierte una desfinanciación del presupuesto de 2027, deudas que comprometen la estabilidad del sector energético, miles de familias campesinas con tierras sin títulos formalizados, más de mil obras inconclusas, riesgos fiscales en infraestructura y alertas sobre programas para adultos mayores y la primera infancia. Agradezco a la Contraloría, a los 17 contralores delegados, a los ministros del Gobierno entrante y a los líderes sectoriales que hicieron parte de este ejercicio de articulación institucional. La información que hoy recibimos será fundamental para actuar desde el primer día, proteger los recursos públicos y corregir los problemas identificados. La transparencia comienza por decirle la verdad al país. Ese será siempre nuestro compromiso. #Transparencia #Gobierno #Fiscalidad
