Consuelo Salgar de Montejo (30 September 1928 – 2 October 2002)[1][2] was a Colombian journalist, advertising executive, media entrepreneur, and politician.
Salgar studied in England and the United States.[1] She joined McCann Erickson and later established Publicidad Técnica,[1][3] her own advertising agency.[1] She directed Ella, él y alguien más, a television sitcom,[3] worked for Semana, and founded Flash magazine.[1] In 1966, she won a bid for the first private television channel in Colombia, Teletigre (TV-9 Bogotá), which lasted 5 years until the new elected government decided not to renew its license. Salgar founded four newspapers: El Periódico, El Matutino, El Caleño, and El Bogotano.
Writer of the book; "Un siglo en Guerra".[4]
Politics
As a politician, she founded the Liberal Independent Movement (MIL), a dissident faction of the Colombian Liberal Party which would join the Frente Unido por el Pueblo, coalition with left-wing MOIR and populist ANAPO.[5] Salgar was a senator, a Representative of the House, a deputy for Cundinamarca Assembly, and president of Bogotá City Council.[2]
Salgar was an outspoken opponent of President Julio César Turbay Ayala's Security Statute.[5] During Turbay's government she was arrested and sentenced to one year of imprisonment by a military judge on 7 November 1979, for allegedly having a legal gun of his property. She would be released 3 months later. Salgar brought the case to the United Nations Human Rights Committee.[6]
