A former Fiduprevisora executive denounced pressure to sign resource transfers before the 2026 presidential elections. Óscar Eduardo García Montes resigned on June 18 citing workplace harassment.
García Montes, who had been placed in charge of the Vice Presidency of Derived Contracting, stated in his resignation letter that he faced pressure to sign high-value agreements without adequate time for technical and legal reviews. He cited alleged corruption and undue pressure to move resources from the National Fund for Disaster Risk Management to the education and agriculture sectors.
The Ministry of Agriculture denied that transfers totaling 1.6 trillion pesos had occurred. It stated that signed agreements do not imply disbursements and that the funds have not yet been transferred from the National Treasury.
Last week the government declared the appointment of Diego Andrés Salcedo Monsalve as president of the entity null and void through Decree 0668 of 2026. It instead appointed Rosa Dory Chaparro Espinosa, head of the Legal Advisory Office at the Ministry of Finance, as acting president.
