The positive side of Colombia: ambassador can eat two families' monthly income in just one lunch
by Adriaan Alsema May 15, 2020
Many Colombians may have no food, but that doesn’t mean their Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office at Geneva, Switzerland, can’t have lunch that could sustain two families for a month for lunch.
One cannot form an accurate picture of Colombia without taking Ambassador Adriana del Rosario Mendoza, who represents her country at the United Nations Human Rights Council, into account.
During the lockdown, 3 million Colombians have had to live off a $80 monthly stipend, which may be miserable, but Mendoza spends three times as much on just one lunch.
Being Colombian becomes even better when Foreign Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo comes over and the two consume an entire family’s income in just one hour.
