On Instagram, critics highlighted posts showing President Petro\u2019s image alongside slogans such as <em>\u201cThe silence is over \u2013 The health system was looted. There will be no forgiveness or forgetting,\u201d<\/em> tagged with <strong>#SeRobaronLaSalud<\/strong> (\u201cThey stole the health system\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These posts have fueled questions from watchdogs and citizens about whether Coljuegos has crossed the line between institutional communication and political propaganda. Under Colombian law, public funds and state entities must remain neutral in political matters, except during formal accountability processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The controversy is not new. In August, media outlets reported that <strong>Marco Emilio Hincapi\u00e9<\/strong>, president of Coljuegos, openly participated in a popular consultation promoted by President Petro. That episode raised alarms about the blurred boundaries between Coljuegos\u2019 institutional role and partisan politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the decision lies with the Procuradur\u00eda, which must determine whether Coljuegos and other agencies engaged in conduct contrary to legal provisions prohibiting the use of official resources for political ends. The investigation could set a critical precedent for how state institutions communicate in the age of social media.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colombia\u2019s Inspector General received a petition to investigate Coljuegos for allegedly using official social media to promote President Petro\u2019s political agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13883,"menu_order":61,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3,9,733],"class_list":["post-13881","gambling","type-gambling","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sin-categoria","tag-coljuegos","tag-colombia","tag-petro","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 -
