Teflon Laura

1 year ago

Amazingly Laura Sarabia who Petro had to oust as his right hand woman following the scandal over the alleged theft by her maid has just been sworn in as director of the Departamento de Prosperidad Social which manages six billion pesos of government money. Somehow she still has not been called on the carpet for arranging an illegal lie detector test of her maid which resulted in a suicide of a police official and the arrest of the Dijin agents who carried it out. What's more guilt for the supposed theft has never been established nor the amount of money that was supposed to have been stolen. In fact her interrogation by the fiscalia over the matter scheduled for today has been cancelled due to her placement in the new post.

Lucía Bastidas a concejal for Bogotá has roundly criticized the move saying Sarabia has never even managed a tienda.

In the land of Realismo Mágico.
