The law indicates that all public employees are entitled to 15 working days of vacation for each year of service.
In this case, technically, the mayor took five business days of vacation. He will pass them in the company of his wife, Congresswoman Angélica Lozano.
This was confirmed by a publication of the mayor on social networks, in which she is seen at El Dorado Airport: “We send you kisses with @AngelicaLozanoC. Please continue to take care of each other! Let us comply with ALL the recommendations of @SectorSalud @Bogota. We receive the year with hope, with the hope and conviction that we will lead vaccination, return to school and reactivation! Happy new year ! “.

Others have reminded her of her position on El Dorado Airport and questioned whether she was there herself.
“It is still contradictory that in the middle of the 2nd peak of the pandemic @ClaudiaLopez decides to travel by plane, the means of transport that has demonized so much. The message seems to be:” no one should travel by plane, except me. “Again the mayor don’t lead by example “, trilled the councilor of the Democratic Center, Andrés Forero.

Others have recognized that, although López is entitled to take vacations, “it was not the moment.”
“Claudia López has the right to vacations, but it is irresponsible to travel outside the country during the 2nd peak of the pandemic. During the crisis, she improvised, made mistakes and was opportunistic and incoherent. Now, she should be leading the reactivation, security, social care and health”, trilled the former mayoral candidate, Miguel Uribe.

However, members of the mayor’s party have responded to her critics.
“Man, don’t be cynical. You have no judgment to come talk about hard work and vacations. He has been in Congress for almost 20 YEARS living on Colombian taxes and EVERY YEAR he has been paid 4 months of salary + vacations. Screwed like you have to get them out! “, Trilled Councilor Julián Rodríguez Sastoque, in response to Benedetti’s trills.
