Ñuñoa mayor Sebastián Sichel backed Tomás Fuentes' continued role as Dideco director after Contraloría ruled the appointment illegal due to a timing issue. Sichel said a correct decree will be issued on the 15th and criticized the Frente Amplio for seeking his dismissal on moral grounds. In the same interview, he called for flexible measures against school violence.
Colombia's Contraloría General de la República reported that Decree 0150 of 2026, declaring an economic emergency in February due to the climate crisis, lacks solid calculation bases for requesting between $8.26 and $8.68 trillion pesos. The oversight body identified discrepancies in damage estimates, such as flooded areas, and the absence of a national articulated plan. This review responds to a request from the Constitutional Court.
