No server has privileges: Aerocivil on Gabriela Muñoz

The Colombian civil aviation authority, Aerocivil, has denied allegations that any of its public servants have privileges under the law or oversight institutions, responding to claims that Gabriela Muñoz, a woman accused by Angie Rodríguez of being part of a 'network of women' influencing President Gustavo Petro’s administration, holds undue influence within the agency. The accusations include managing biased contracts, favoring relatives, and failing to disclose potential conflicts of interest. President Petro has defended Gabriela, while she has announced criminal complaints. Aerocivil stated it would fully cooperate with the Ministry of Transportation’s request for transparency in procurement processes but had yet to receive the requested information. Investigations suggest that Gabriela’s family, including her brother and cousins, were involved in contracts between 2025 and 2026, with some contracts linked to the appointment of the agency’s director. Gabriela’s mother, Liliana Olaya, previously worked as coordinator of counterintelligence at the National Intelligence Directorate (DNI), which was under the leadership of now-prosecuted director Jorge Lemus. She reportedly helped荐

We will help you: Democratic Center denied being at war with Abelardo De La Espriella and backed his government

The article discusses ongoing political tensions regarding the formation of a new Senate leadership council in Colombia. Reports suggested potential fractures between the Centro Democrático party and President Abelardo De La Espriella’s administration, as well as speculation about possible alliances with the petrismo faction. In response, Centro Democrático leader Jaime Arizabaleta denied claims of conflict with the government, stating that the party would support the administration rather than engage in 'war' against it. He emphasized unity and collaboration, countering narratives of confrontation. The situation was further complicated by comments from Senator Iván Cepeda of the Pacto Histórico, who denied any political agreement with the Centro Democrático, adding to the controversy surrounding the Senate leadership election.

Bias read (Center): While the article covers a politically charged issue involving potential conflicts between political parties and the presidency, the framing remains balanced.

The last days of change

The article discusses the final days of President Gustavo Petro’s administration in Colombia, highlighting his declining approval ratings and the narrative he is constructing to frame his tenure. Petro has been emphasizing 'the best results of the century' and asserting that his party remains the legitimate majority despite losing the recent election. The piece critiques this narrative as a form of fraud denial, which the author views as a threat to Colombian democracy. It notes that Petro’s government failed to fulfill 71% of its 214 commitments under its development plan, according to April reports. The article argues that Petro’s refusal to acknowledge defeat raises questions about the effectiveness of his transformative agenda.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames Petro’s actions and rhetoric as a challenge to democratic norms, criticizing his party’s denial of electoral loss and their failure to meet promises. While the tone is critical of Petro’s governance, it does not present balanced perspectives from opposing viewpoints, leaning more

Why factuality (90): The article clearly states that Petro was not included in the Time 100 list for 2026 but was included in 2023. It verifies this by checking the official Time website and correcting misinformation spread by another outlet. The facts are supported by external sources and align with the primary source

Ex-fiscal and former presidential candidate Francisco Barbosa criticized Nieto Loaiza's statements, calling them 'grave,' and warned about misidentifying true enemies of democracy.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the controversy around Nieto Loaiza's inflammatory rhetoric as a threat to democratic values, aligning more closely with left-leaning perspectives that emphasize institutional integrity and caution against divisive political language. The emphasis on the 'gravity' of the situation

Why factuality (90): The article accurately summarizes Rafael Nieto Loaiza’s comments and Francisco Barbosa’s response. While it quotes Barbosa calling the situation 'grave,' it does so faithfully without adding unverified claims. The facts match the broader political discourse around De La Espriella.

Why objectivity (85): The article leans slightly toward portraying Nieto Loaiza’s statements as problematic by emphasizing Barbosa’s strong reaction. However, it still presents both perspectives without overt bias.

Friend of the president 15 years ago: former director of Aerocivil revealed the truth of how Gabriela Muñoz came to the entity

The controversy surrounding hiring practices at the Colombian Civil Aviation Authority (Aerocivil) continues to grow after Angie Rodríguez accused Gabriela Muñoz of having influence similar to Juliana Guerrero, who was previously linked to President Gustavo Petro. Recent revelations have highlighted the role of Muñoz’s mother, Liliana Olaya, in the process of her appointment. In an interview with Red+ Noticias, former Aerocivil director José Henry Pinto explained that Olaya presented herself as someone close to the national government and a friend of the president since around 15 years. He stated that she recommended both Gabriela Muñoz and her brother Santiago for employment. After reviewing their resumes, Pinto authorized them to start as assistants due to lacking academic and professional qualifications for higher positions. Both were hired into lower-level roles with monthly salaries between $2.4 million and $2.8 million. Pinto claimed he did not find evidence of conflicts of interest during his tenure.

Petro responded by calling Rodríguez 'manipulative' and claimed he was medically unfit to address her allegations. Meanwhile, de la Espriella instructed the Attorney General, Comptroller, and Prosecutor’s Office to investigate Rodríguez’s claims and ordered the new Minister of Interior, Rodrigo Lara, and the soon-to-be director of the National Planning Department, Didier Blanco, to ensure her safety starting August 7.

Angie Rodríguez: the story that started as a dream and ended up becoming a nightmare in the Government of Gustavo Petro

In mid-October 2025, Angie Rodríguez, a high-ranking advisor to Colombia’s Minister of Health, Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo, received a call from President Gustavo Petro offering her a new role as head of the Dapre (Presidential Advisory Office), making her his closest aide.
