Abelardo de la Espriella releases ‘Libro de la Verdad’ alleging corruption

The administration of Abelardo de la Espriella has released the ‘Libro de la Verdad’ (Book of Truth), a controversial document alleging corruption within the government of Gustavo Petro. A primary target of the document is the agricultural sector, where the new administration claims there has been ‘waste’ and ‘politicking’ regarding agrarian reform.

The document specifically criticizes the management of the agricultural sector, holding former minister Martha Carvajalino responsible for alleged mismanagement. Critics of the document, including sociologist Itayosara Rojas, argue that the attack on agrarian reform is a strategic choice to target one of the administration's most ambitious policies. The debate centers on the efficiency of the 22 trillion peso investment, with the new administration questioning the results relative to the amount of land titled.
