Carlos Lemoine, the civil engineer and mathematician who is in charge of the Centro Nacional de Consultoría (CNC), He explained to the journalist Yamid Amat, in an interview with EL TIEMPO, part of the survey that this coming Monday will be published in its entirety.
One of the issues that stands out from the conversation is the most negative figure that the country currently has, and it is the handling that the Government has given to security. According to Lemoine, "this criticism is very, very acute in Bogotá, Medellín, Cúcuta, Cartagena, Cali and in Barranquilla, which is one of the political forts, let's say, of the President."

"And in Bogotá, only 29 percent approve; that is very low," closes the expert.

It is a first warning bell for the Government," explained the director of the CNC.
It is noteworthy that several mayors have asked the Government of Petro for help to control the robberies that citizens experience daily. One of the people who has insisted the most on prosecuting criminals is the mayoress of Bogotá, Claudia López, because in the capital in recent days there has been a wave of robberies in various sectors.
