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)

Óscar Puente criticized some comments about the railway and compared the figures he cited for Spain and Lithuania. He wrote that Spain had 15,000 kilometers of railway, of which 10,400 were electrified and 4,050 were high-speed, while Lithuania had 1,700 kilometers, 160 electrified, and none high-speed. He added that someone had traveled by train through Lithuania and was thrilled, and he noted that the difference between the two countries was very marked. #Ferrocarriles #Transporte #Viajes (translated)

My stupid recipe, Doctor Restrepo, achieved the highest employment rate, the lowest rates of hunger and poverty of the 21st century, and some of the highest levels of per capita income in the last quarter of my government in the entire history of Colombia. You and Abelardo today, just as you did in Duque's government during the first month of his administration, shot up unemployment almost to the double-digit figures that you handed over to my government. That's called a step back! It's unfortunate that a part of the Colombian electorate believes that Colombia's destiny is to go backward. Again the IMF, again over-indebtedness that you promoted, Dr. Restrepo, by giving subsidies to the rich and imposing a gasoline subsidy paid with the budget. These days, that is called economic ignorance and anachronism. I propose my support from the opposition to make a great agreement for the equitable progress of Colombia. What allowed us to have the best social economic figures of the century was: 1. Leaving hydrocarbon extraction and moving to real production in industry, commerce, and tourism. Prioritizing production, that is, the transformation of materials to make other materials for a good life for people, automatically raises employment levels and overall productivity. 2. Raising the minimum wage every year to the level of the vital basket for a family. This was demanded by the social doctrine of the Catholic Church in the encyclical "Rerum Novarum" by Leo XIII, and you, as a fervent Catholic, should apply it. In that encyclical and in that of Francis I about the "common home," and in that of Leo XIV about "a dignified Humanity," you would find a comprehensive agreement with the progressivism I lead. 3. A leading role of the state in the economy in strategic matters such as tariffs for industrialization, abundant and cheap credit for small and medium-sized industries, cheap credit for industry, food production, exports, and zero-interest credit for any national industry that produces an increase in Colombia’s computational capacity, energy, and railroads. 4. Leading the decarbonization of the economy through a 100% clean electricity generation matrix, replacing the prohibitively expensive gas with extremely cheap and abundant solar energy in Colombia. Remember that in my government I managed to increase growth in the four years by 500% in the naval industry and 200% in the electric automotive industry. 5. Redistributing another million hectares among farmers and doubling food production in the country to lower the prices of the family basket and increase real wages. You and we can lower the interest rate set by the Board of the Bank of the Republic by configuring another majority in the board that is friendly to production and work. 5. And if you don’t want, Mr. Restrepo, to reach agreements given the mind-numbing sectarianism that predominates, then just remember my advice: work and nature are the sources of wealth, and in Colombia, the real wage as an expression of the value of work allows the expansion of the internal market, both formal and informal, and increases the number of companies and workforce. When the country decides to return to legitimate institutions, it might be too late for you, but these will be the economic bases already experienced with positive data for a national agreement. #EconomíaColombiana #Progreso #DesarrolloSostenible (translated)

No sé qué lógica retorcida llevó a Putin a volar un locomotora ucraniana estacionaria en la frontera polaca esta mañana. Lo que sí podemos decir con certeza es que este es el tipo de ataque aleatorio e insensato que los ucranianos están soportando todos los días, incluso en ferrocarriles civiles

🛣️ El Gobierno enviará un proyecto al Congreso para liberar de impuestos a la nuevas inversiones en rutas nacionales para que toda inversión sea a 0 impuesto nacional, provincial y municipal. Esto es espectacular y debería extenderse a ferrocarriles y obras hídricas. #Inversiones #Infraestructura #DesarrolloEconómico
