Colombia culture ministry spent $326M during earthquake vigil, lawmaker alleges

Colombian lawmaker Adriana Villegas claims the Ministry of Culture (Mincultura) spent $326 million during a vigil for earthquake victims, despite a lack of reconstruction funds. The allegation, reported by El Espectador, suggests potential misallocation of public funds amid disaster recovery. The claim is unverified and likely part of a political dispute over budget priorities.
