The change

Colombia promised to pay 8 million dollars, four before December 31, 2023 and four before the end of January 2024, but did not comply.

Rodríguez has been in the eye of the hurricane and would be close to leaving office due to this scandal.

Even on January 11, the request of 30 senators was filed to summon a debate on a motion of censure against the Minister of Sports, Astrid Rodríguez for “breaching the payment contract to the Panam Sports Organization, which had to be made in the month of December 2023, to carry out the Pan American Games in Barranquilla”.
