This led the mayor of Bogotá to announce that will take legal action against those who continue to spread these claims. Galán indicated that people who hide behind false profiles and continue to replicate information about this concession, should know that this concession is not new, since it has existed since 1984 and that it corresponds to the Regional Autonomous Corporation (CAR) of Cundinamarca and not to the Mayor’s Office of Bogotá.

“I demand that Mr. Euquico, or whoever is hiding behind the anonymous account @eclides3, retract his lies. Otherwise, I will go before a judge to order him to do so.“, Galan said.
He also stated that behind this replication there are hidden political interests in favor of “discredit, lie and misinform“citizens with false information.
