A recent informal communication from the Colombian government, distributed via WhatsApp to land contractors of the National Land Agency (ANT), suggests avoiding the use of the word "campesinos" (peasants). The message originated from the Office of the Land Management Inspector (Oigt). Details surrounding the reasoning for this directive remain unclear, fueling speculation about potential shifts in government policy or messaging. This guidance, delivered through an unofficial channel, raises questions concerning transparency and the government's approach to addressing rural issues. It is currently unknown whether this is a temporary recommendation or a long-term strategy. The outlet *La Silla Vacía* first reported on this unusual communication, highlighting its potential implications. The situation invites scrutiny regarding the government’s relationship with the rural population and its choice of terminology.
