President Gustavo Petro's government has granted official security protection to Gabriela Muñoz, a young woman who has been accused of possible improper influence at Aerocivil. The origin and justification for this measure remain subject to public questioning.

Muñoz has been under scrutiny due to her links to Aerocivil operations, the agency responsible for regulating civil aviation in Colombia. Questions about her role have intensified following reports that she has state security backing.

The decision to assign her official protection has raised questions about the criteria used by the government to justify such a measure in the case of a person subject to investigation regarding their influence on administrative matters.
