Senator María Fernanda Cabal sent a right of petition to the Registrar's Office requesting information from the IT chief, Alejandro Campo, about her relationship with the company Indra, and alleged meetings with Russian and Belarusian agents.

The answer to the questions of the far-right senator was answered on April 12 in a document in which Campo details her working past and flatly denies any meeting with diplomats from the aforementioned countries or other nationalities.”

In the document, he clarifies that he did work as Operations Manager II at Indra, between “March 1, 2016 and July 31, 2017″ and listed the functions he had during the time he was employed in that company.

Among the functions mentioned are: “Managing the development of electoral businesses for Colombia and Honduras”; “support in the electoral operation of the elections of the Dominican Republic in 2016, in the training and help desk of specialized technical support”; “managing the recruitment of the elections in Colombia in 2016 - Plebiscite-, from the submission of an offer to the signing of a contract”; attention and commercial relations with the officials of the different Latin American electoral bodies for the search for electoral business opportunities”, among others.

The official clarified that he joined the Registrar's Office since February 3, 2020, where he has held positions as national director of the Electoral Census and IT manager, a job he has been doing since March 9, 2020.

Senator Cabal has insisted and pointed out that behind the mistakes made by the National Registry of Civil Status, there could be an attempt to commit electoral fraud in the face of the presidential elections.

Senator Cabal's doubts are based on more than a million votes that were not counted on election day and which had to be corrected in the counting, of which nearly 600,000 correspond to the Historical Pact, led by Gustavo Petro.

“Don't tell me that just because of a human error on the part of electoral juries. To me that they explain to me how an error of 7% happens, that is scandalous,” said the congresswoman in an interview with the Blu Radio station.

The far-right questioning has involved the head of information technology at the Registrar's Office, Alejandro Campo Valero, whom she accuses, without evidence, of serious crimes

“Looking at the previous background and positions, we see that Mr. Alejandro not only worked in the INDRA company, which later won the tender over all his opponents, but also worked in the Thomas Greg & Sons company, which ended up winning the contract for the last 12 years, if this is not a conflict of interest. so what are they? Because it seems that in Colombia the entities have owners,” the senator said in the interview with the station.

Cabal argued that Juan Manuel Santos was also part of the Thomas Greg & Sons company, from 2002 to 2006, when he resigned to be Minister of Defense. He said that both Gustavo Petro and Claudia López denounced millionaire government contracts with that company from 2010 to 2018.

“How does the general manager of Thomas Greg enter, and then he goes to Indra and then appears as if he does nothing. He was the one who technically and legally coordinated the contracting of the software because he was in that position. You have to tell us who made everything that later worked for INDRA. For me there is a conflict of interest,” said the senator on Blu Radio.
