TL;DR
- President Petro criticizes the Bank of the Republic's interest rate policies.
- He claims the bank is 'dependent on the interests of the owners of financial capital' and not on 'economic progressivism and workers'.
- Petro views the bank's decision to maintain interest rates as a political move to slow down Colombia.
- He calls his decision to appoint a codirector recommended by former Minister Ocampo his 'worst mistake' in government.
- The president suspects this appointment led to a lost majority on the board that could have favored 'working people's interests'.
- Petro previously criticized codirector Olga Lucía Acosta for voting to keep interest rates high.
