Córdoba's Caminera: when the vices of power become law
Pretrial detention of the former head of the Caminera exposes the flaws of a system that has governed for 26 years and turned the State into spoils

It is just another symptom of what happens when political power becomes entrenched in the same structure for 26 years.
