The bulk of the debt quota will be used for the Bogotá Metro: Councilor Martín Rivera

The councilor of the Green Party, Martín Rivera, denounced alleged pressure from the District to approve the new credit or debt quota requested by the mayor Claudia López and that surrounds 5.8 billion pesos.

In dialogue with RCN Worldthe politician pointed out that, “one of my disappointments is that the majority of the council fell into the “what do I win”. We went from having substantive discussions to that and an administration that lent itself to that from the beginning. There has been very strong pressure from this administration to be able to have majorities“, said.

Although Rivera did not explain what kind of pressure has been registered, he did warn that the desire is to publicly show that the money is and assured that the bulk of that money will be used for the Bogotá metro.

“The bulk of the use of that money is for the financing of the metro. There is a political desire and a need for the administration to show the money on the table to Iván Duque. But the question is what about the subway? Because we don’t know how many stations there would be, we don’t know who will operate it and how it will be operated,” he said.

It is worth mentioning that recently the mayor of Bogotá, Claudia López, said that the new debt quota will be used to meet the fundamental objectives of the Development Plan 2020-2024.

“We had the biggest economic recession due to the pandemic, we had unemployment of almost 25 percent, we lost about 1.1 million jobs. We have already recovered 900 thousand, fortunately we expect our economy to grow by 4.1%, the pandemic was a hard blow,” López said at the time.
