Then came 'chest beating' and people began to look for culprits, something that to this day has not yielded results.

And in the midst of all this problem, the first Minister of Finance that the Petro government had spoke, Jose Antonio Ocampowho delivered forceful statements.

“I can say that I was on top of that issue. I can also confirm, because I was really very aware of the games in Barranquilla when the 2023 budget was prepared and the budget addition that was approved that same year after my administration, that the resources were included in the budget,” he said on Caracol radio. .

And he added: “It seems unusual to me that the payment was not made. It is a total apathy because the Ministry of Sports had the resources budgeted. “I believe that they have all the blame in this process.”
