Hay que discutir la renuncia del presidente de Ecopetrol, Ricardo Roa: Jorge Robledo

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:05.879
One of those very small shareholders,
but very well informed, is former Senator

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:11.119
Jorge Enrique Robledo, who was for
decades one of the most prominent legislators in

3
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:18.280
political control and now wants to use
that experience to ask uncomfortable questions in the

4
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:24.600
Assembly, about everything that is happening
in ecopeton. Dr Jorge Enrique Robledo.

5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:29.320
Good morning, very good morning,
very good morning, Daniel, and to

6
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.159
the Board of Directors also to forgiveness
work. So are my greetings. I

7
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:38.719
understand that you are already preparing to
ask the Board of Directors, Dr Robledo,

8
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.799
first of all to resolve a curiosity
to me. You were already a

9
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.399
shareholder of Copetrol from before or bought
shares now to be able to speak in

10
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.359
this Assembly, which paints you as
the most complicated in the Company' s

11
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.439
history to remember this. I spent
20 years on the Senate Chemical Commission,

12
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.759
which is the Petroleum and Environmental Affairs
Commission, etc. So this is a

13
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:00.560
subject that I' m passionate about
with two and everyone. Or the horrors

14
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.560
that are happening in this government,
which include having a President of the Republic

15
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:10.680
who hates oil and gásquez. The
only President in the world who is in

16
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.719
that attitude has phobia. I came
to the conclusion that I had to buy

17
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:18.319
a few shares so that I could
go to the Assembly and make requests as

18
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.359
a shareholder, because the requests that
one makes to the top copetrola the Presidency

19
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:26.599
of copetro He as a citizen answer
them badly or they do not answer them.

20
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.920
So, what I am doing not
later, of course, a business,

21
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.799
but to continue to do here with
the duty that has imposed upon me

22
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.239
many years ago to act with the
logic of a public servant. So I

23
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.319
bought a few shares and we'
re forming a group of copetól shareholders that

24
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:46.760
we' re going to become a
watchdog before what happens in that company,

25
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:49.799
in addition to what Congress can do. For example, I know that there

26
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.959
was a right of petition in February
asking for information from a Senator of the

27
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:56.079
Republic and they have not answered it. That' s not the way it

28
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:57.400
can be. Well, then.
Let' s go get that company'

29
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:04.840
s information. It is true that
it is difficult for its subsidiaries to comply

30
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.240
with a right of petition. I' ve been processing for a year and

31
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.280
they' ve returned it to me
and I' ve earned your fabrics and

32
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:13.080
then I' ve lost them.
Secondly and finally, it has not been

33
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.599
possible for me to have a right
of petition on a Copetrol business. But,

34
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.719
well, that' s another topic. What do you know about the

35
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:25.840
enigmatic RIFX control report on the risks
Ecopetrol faces in situations involving its President?

36
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.000
Yeah, that' s a report
because I understand, no, no,

37
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.560
no, it' s not published. I don' t know him.

38
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.039
I have to say it very clearly. The editorial of the time a few

39
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:39.479
days ago already mentioned it. But
there are things that go knowing and it

40
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:44.080
goes knowing from the start. Of
that which you point out, that you

41
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:49.319
point out Daniel no, and that
there is one is so critical of the

42
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:55.560
report in relation to Dr Roa'
s exploits that he proposes as a need

43
00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:02.199
for the company to look carefully,
a temporary retreat or toto from Mr President

44
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:05.960
de Copetrol. That is already a
fact, because it is not serious.

45
00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:09.039
It is a report of more than
a hundred pages that goes into a lot

46
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:13.080
of detail. But finally, what
I think would have to be done is

47
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.919
a campaign right now for it to
be published and I say it as a

48
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:23.759
Colombian and as a shareholder, the
competing demand that I publish in that insorme,

49
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.439
that they hand it over to the
media, hand it over to all

50
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.159
Colombians so that we can go into
detail. But what things will be like.

51
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.479
They stop serious that he mentions,
that he draws conclusions as you are

52
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:38.560
now, But it' s not
surprising to me, Daniel, because they

53
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:46.080
look at the single errors of cavalry
with the corruption of Dr Roa when he

54
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:52.000
was president of the Bogotá energy company, in a crooked and massive company that

55
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:53.560
there was in Guatemala, of a
subsidiary company in which he acted as alcahueta.

56
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:59.319
When this matter became known, that
only enabled him to be President Petro,

57
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:01.919
because that is not a sheet of
life. Look at the entanglements in

58
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:08.159
what is still Petro' s presidential
campaign. There may be some very serious

59
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:11.319
things in this regard about the financing
of that campaign. Well from the outset,

60
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:18.600
it seems that the reports of the
contributions of Mr and Clides Torres to

61
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.839
the campaign, which Gustavo Petro'
s own son says are true, do

62
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:25.839
not appear. That' s not
appearing in the campaign figures. And for

63
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.360
Dr Torres already has contracts with the
alternative energy business for a hundred eighty billion

64
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:35.439
dollars well And what' s going
on with the board of directors and with

65
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:39.959
what they want to do is that
what they want is to impose a board

66
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.800
of directors in which several of its
members have no merit to make members of

67
00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:46.600
that board, beyond saying that they
are recommended for peto and that they are

68
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.800
friends of peto. And in that, with the pimps or the support of

69
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:55.439
the Minister of Finance himself, then
they are handling the Petrole I said it

70
00:04:55.439 --> 00:05:00.800
in some detail as if it were
a shop owned by Dr Gustavo Petro,

71
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.040
the Minister of Finance, the doctor' s doctor to what about the exploits,

72
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.639
when seraphim yacono have two members of
the board of directors, the only

73
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:14.519
ones who are backing the doctor at
this time. The current members of the

74
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:18.079
board of directors are two who,
in addition, are shareholders of a company

75
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.480
of seraphim yacono of the oil world. It can' t be that this

76
00:05:20.519 --> 00:05:25.399
is a respect, a respect that
is being given to Colombians with these behaviors.

77
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:30.800
So I' m not just surprised
and I' m convinced here that

78
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.079
so it has to be that that
report from that firm consol Rick, has

79
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.160
to tell a lot of stories,
because they have to be very serious,

80
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:44.199
because if I, that I am
not a researcher, if I am not

81
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:49.639
a researcher, I know about these
things, imagine what those who have access

82
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:54.560
to more information of the action will
know. In addition to the relays in

83
00:05:54.639 --> 00:06:00.720
the board of directors, next Friday' s Assembly proposes amendments to the statutes

84
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:06.000
of co- petroleum. You have
concerns about these statutory changes. Yes,

85
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:11.519
that may be the most serious thing
of all is that we remember that Dr

86
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:15.839
Petro has a phobia of oil and
gas. It is, I repeat,

87
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:24.240
the only oil country president in the
world who practically strangled new explorations to find

88
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:27.079
oil and gas, which means that
we are going to run out of oil

89
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.240
and gas. I give listeners a
fact that is very simple to understand the

90
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:35.279
importance of gas. In the last
of the oil forgiveness. Over the past

91
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:42.319
three years, Colombia' s oil
exports have added forty- six million dollars.

92
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.040
Without the economy of copetrole and oil
sinking in Colombia, as can happen

93
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:53.800
because of the irresponsible attitude of President
Gustavo Petro and his ministers and the President

94
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:58.000
of Copeton, there could be an
economic catastrophe. And what happens in the

95
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.800
bylaws include at a point forgiveness in
the Assembly, they include at a point

96
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:09.800
to modify the bylaws by putting copetrol
into a whole kind of alternative energy business.

97
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.879
And I don' t get that
there are generally alternative energies and there

98
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.279
' s climate change. Some things
need to be taken care of, but

99
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.079
a very large part of those businesses
are very high- risk businesses, such

100
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:29.360
as meter and copetrole in hydrogen business, which is an absolutely new technology.

101
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.959
It' s a very complicated thing. The copetón has no resources, then

102
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.680
what happens if the copetón gets into
that crazy way, as the petro wants

103
00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.879
in the business of alternative energies and
that they are shitting it steals, because

104
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:45.120
what they can end up breaking the
company, at least leading it to an

105
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.000
immense crisis, besides that they are
turning it into a center of politics and

106
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:54.560
assistance and clientelism. So what we' re going to raise in the Board

107
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.160
of Directors is two things, because
it' s one thing that is delayed

108
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:01.120
in decisions at least until we get
serious studies, because they also lead us

109
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.839
to vote like blind hooks. There
is no serious report on the new members

110
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.560
of the Board of Directors to justify
because they have to be there. It

111
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.439
' s just there. I'
m sure there are candidates who can'

112
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.199
t read or balance people who have
zero experience in economic and oil matters.

113
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:24.199
It can' t be me I
understand Petro putting friends with him, supporters

114
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.319
of him, but he has to
put them among those who know, that

115
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.480
is, the doctor. Petro cannot
continue to turn ignorance into a virtue,

116
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.480
which is one of the things they
have us doing, because it is with

117
00:08:31.559 --> 00:08:37.720
the silver of the Colombians who are
playing. That is a particularly serious fact

118
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:43.559
which then tells us to postpone that
change of board of directors as there is

119
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.679
no condition. Well, it'
s being handled in the illegality, let

120
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:50.159
' s say, or the irregularity. But good that if you postpone that

121
00:08:50.159 --> 00:08:56.279
decision, while this is discussed calmly
and particularly that the decision of the Board

122
00:08:56.320 --> 00:09:00.720
is postponed, that of the change
of this part of the Board, so

123
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.519
that we do not get involved in
the economic adventures and I believe that,

124
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.679
as things go, we must discuss
the resignation of the President of COPET.

125
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:09.799
I believe that this has to be
a debate, which must be placed on

126
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:15.200
the agenda so that we can give
our opinion on whether Dr Roa should submit

127
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.759
his resignation, because these things that
are being heard have the right to be

128
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.919
raised by the actions. Then there
is going to be an Assembly where we

129
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.240
are going to talk with everything,
with everything, with all frankness, as

130
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.799
it has to be. The fact
that the national government has ninety percent of

131
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:31.759
the shares does not give it the
right to run over two hundred and sixty

132
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.799
thousand shareholders who have private shares there, nor to run over twelve million Colombians

133
00:09:37.799 --> 00:09:41.840
who have their savings in the private
funds of tensions that are shareholders of Copetón.

134
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.879
That is what we are going to
do to the House. In the

135
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:52.759
last few hours, colleague Jorge Espinosa
de Caracol revealed that Nestor Camilo Martínez,

136
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.720
the son of Nestor Ruperto Martínez,
is advising the president of copetro Ricardo Roa

137
00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:01.960
in the relay of the board of
directors. Few people have gotten along as

138
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:07.000
badly as President Gustavo Pedro and ester
Huberto Martínez. You explain how the president

139
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:09.480
of Copetrol, so close to Petro, has as an advisor the son of

140
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:15.919
Ester Humberto, Dr Robres. I
had a relative who said that there were

141
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:20.000
people who were able to do anything, anything, and I am coming to

142
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.600
the conclusion that among Jesus is Dr
Gustavo Pecho, because it is that Copetrol

143
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:30.519
ends up hiring Néstor Camilo Martínez,
that is, the son of Nestor Humberto

144
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.519
Martínez, and I am convinced that
it is the signature of Nestor Humberto Bla

145
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.879
that he is representing. Yes,
because what he has right now is from

146
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:43.399
the Piper Martínez Beltrán, and that
firm created it not Estor Humberto a few

147
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.960
years ago and it was with the
same name. But instead of Martinez Beltrán,

148
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.360
it was Martinez. Naije then that
he ends up being a copetroleum hiring

149
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.000
last or through his son with Néstor
Humberto Martínez, as it is something like

150
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.600
almost incredible. I suppose even the
Petris are more furibund will be very strikingly

151
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:07.440
impressed. And I' m not
surprised then that the concept of the Néstor

152
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.360
Camilo Martínez, is to tell him
copetrol, not fresh. I mean,
