A recent claim circulating alleges presidential candidate De la Espriella proposed reducing the minimum wage to $1.45 million. However, fact-checkers at La Silla Vacía have found no evidence to support this assertion. A review of media coverage and available records indicates De la Espriella actually advocated for maintaining the existing wage increase. The report explicitly states he did not make any statements suggesting a reduction to that amount. This fact-check aims to debunk misinformation surrounding the candidate’s economic policies. The post originated on La Silla Vacía, a Colombian news website known for its investigative journalism and political analysis. The claim has been widely circulated, prompting the need for verification.
