Sindicato de la Cancillería reclamó al gobierno de Abelardo de la Espriella por crisis en los consulados: “La atención no se mejora con discursos”

The Union of Career Diplomatic and Consular Officials of Colombia (Unidiplo) has formally demanded that the national government address the ongoing crisis within Colombian consulates. The union cited severe staffing shortages as the primary driver of the current operational difficulties, noting that these deficiencies are negatively impacting the quality of service provided to citizens abroad.

In their statement, union representatives criticized the government's current approach, asserting that the systemic issues facing the consular network cannot be resolved through rhetoric or speeches alone. The organization is calling for concrete administrative actions to alleviate the pressure on diplomatic personnel and improve the standard of consular attention.
