Petro’s announcement about royalties in the mining sector left a bittersweet taste

The former finance minister Maurico Cardenas, assured that the president’s message on the royalty issue was contradictory. “President Petro is right that the resources in the soil belong to the nation and that royalties should not be part of the companies’ accounts.
