Government intervenes in Comfamiliar Atlántico and removes its director and Board of Directors; the Fund announces legal battle

The Colombian government has intervened in Comfamiliar Atlántico, removing its administrative director, Herber Mantilla Gómez, and the Board of Directors, according to a resolution issued by the Superintendencia del Subsidio Familiar. The intervention, which lasts up to 12 months, was announced on July 6, 2026, and immediately sparked legal controversy. Comfamiliar Atlántico challenged the decision, arguing that the intervention violated due process and ignored a previous ruling by the Council of State regarding the legal framework governing such actions. The organization plans to contest the measure through legal channels, emphasizing concerns over procedural compliance and the potential impact on services provided to workers and their families.
