This marks a notable political incursion by Colombia\u2019s gambling regulatory authority, traditionally focused on sector oversight and technical compliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/landing\/multigame-link\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/assets\/feria24\/ice-london-termino-y-se-despidio-la-feria-en-imagenes-mgl.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the <strong>Second Progressive Gathering of Colombia<\/strong>, held in Ibagu\u00e9 and organized by the Colombian Center for Progressive Studies and Ideas Foundation, Hincapi\u00e9 shared the stage with <strong>Gustavo Bol\u00edvar<\/strong>, director of the Department for Social Prosperity, and his son <strong>Marco Emilio Hincapi\u00e9 Jr.<\/strong>, former Government Secretary of Ibagu\u00e9. All emphasized the need to promote direct citizen participation in the social reform agenda led by the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/colombian-gambling-news\/the-current-president-of-coljuegos-could-be-investigated-for-illegal-campaign-financing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The current president of Coljuegos could be investigated for illegal campaign financing.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bol\u00edvar acknowledged the electoral limits faced by the left:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"line-height1 has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know the ceiling we have. The left doesn\u2019t currently have the strength to reach 14 million votes. We need to invite everyone, regardless of their political party.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This level of involvement by a technical entity like Coljuegos \u2014 typically associated with fiscal control, licensing, and revenue management \u2014 raises eyebrows. Its sudden embrace of public mobilization adds a <strong>never-before-seen political dimension<\/strong> to an institution historically removed from partisan activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/coljuegos-president-steps-into-politics-never-seen-before2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11283\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/coljuegos-president-steps-into-politics-never-seen-before2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mundovideo.com.co\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/04\/coljuegos-president-steps-into-politics-never-seen-before2-300x165.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some view the move as bold, others as controversial.
