1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.759
And there' s a bonus track. A few months ago, the then

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.519
Minister of Transport, Guillermo Reyes,
had to leave office after the empty chair

3
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:13.560
revealed that he used at least seven
times the private plane of the engineer Pedro

4
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:18.120
Contecha, favored with a contract of
sixty billion pesos by the invías Here in

5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:23.600
the Colonel report we also showed them
that there were more contracts favoring this man.

6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:29.079
The deputy director of risk management of
the dispatch warned that this work could

7
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:34.439
have been done for half the money
they gave Mr Contecha. The minister came

8
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:39.359
out of office, although he was
awarded the nomination as ambassador to Sweden and,

9
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:43.200
as is often the case in Colombia, the scandal passed into oblivion.

10
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:48.560
However, this weekend, journalist Ginet
Prieto de la Silla Empty reveals that the

11
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:55.560
then candidate, Gustavo Petro, also
used Mr Contecha' s plane. March

12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.240
eight, two thousand twenty- two. Ten months later, as President,

13
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.480
Gustavo Petro Contecha received the multimillion-
dollar contract of sixty- zero billion.

14
00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:11.480
The country needs an explanation on this
issue. Mr President, the flight was

15
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:15.319
not declared as a contribution to the
campaign and the outgoing Press Secretary of the

16
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.560
Presidency, María Paula Fonseca, sent
a trine a few minutes ago to the

17
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:25.079
empty chair, saying that by that
date Petro was not formally candidate because the

18
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.680
registration occurred seventeen days later. The
investigation of the empty chair reveals the flight

19
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:36.959
manifest, where the names of the
other passengers appear. I say the others

20
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:40.040
in addition to Gustavo Petro' s
President' s hour. First Roy Barreras,

21
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.200
today ambassador to the United Kingdom.
Second, Luis Fernando Velasco, current

22
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:49.599
Minister of the Intercior of the Interior, Third, Armando Benedetti, suddenly appointed

23
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.040
a few weeks ago ambassador to the
FAO in Rome, Fourth, Rus bet

24
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:59.200
Rodríguez, the superintendent of Notariat and
fifth, the director of the Society of

25
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.519
Special Assets, Daniel Rojas. The
country needs an explanation from the President of

26
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:07.159
the Republic about this flight and about
the contracts he has received from his Government.

27
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.120
The generous owner of the plane,
following the Council of President Petro himself,

28
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.759
to pay more attention to the content
than to the forms. This requires

29
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:24.520
serious and urgent answers, a plane
with such passengers a few months before the

30
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:30.280
election, were not going to buy
Chiras properly. This was today' s

31
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:31.719
Colonel report. Thank you very much.
