Colombian President Gustavo Petro faced accusations of presenting misleading infant mortality data to Congress. While figures have indeed decreased, analysis shows the downward trend predates Petro’s preventative model. Experts and the Ministry of Health do not attribute the decline solely to his administration’s policies. The presented data, while technically accurate in showing a drop, lacks context regarding pre-existing positive trends. This has sparked criticism regarding transparency and the potential for political manipulation of statistics. The report originates from the Colombian news outlet, *La Silla Vacía*, raising questions about the administration’s data presentation strategies. The incident highlights the importance of scrutinizing statistical claims made by political figures.
