Conservatives and the “U” abandon ICU health reform

The time is running out to approve the proposals that form part of the structure of the government’s program. In Congress, however, little or nothing has been given free rein due to the strong question marks that the initiatives have raised. The reform of health, labor, subjugation, humanization of prisons, electoral law, among other proposals, they take the banner of the projects that are stagnant today. All this because even the coalition parties of the government have withdrawn their support or have risen from the working tables.

The representative in the Chamber of the Centro Democrático party Juan Espinal, in dialogue with EL HERALDO, explained that, counting from April 12 to June 20, the period of the first legislature, there are still eight to nine weeks left, and the debates and analysis of the ‘Government of Change’ proposals must be in-depth and structural because they are transcendental issues for the future of the country.

“There really is a reform agenda set by the national government without forgetting to mention all the projects we have in the Chamber and in the Senate. In the House of Representatives alone, we have about 140 bills that need to be discussed, many of them so that they don’t collapse before June 20, so we will work intensively for two months between April and June 20 to get agreement with the Colombians on the legislative agenda.” he said.

For his part, Cambio Radical Senator David Luna told this editorial that what is happening with the Petro government is that the steamroller of the government is not as strong as they wanted it to appear and therefore the vast majority of projects which they have not prospered.

“In Congress, we are here to debate and discuss the initiatives being presented, whether they come from Government, from citizens or from the congressmen themselves. That’s our job. Now, the important thing here is that it was shown, as happened with Commission I, where we succeeded in sinking political reform, that the steamroller of the government is not as strong as they wanted to make it seem,” said David Luna. He also added that “the adoption of the other reforms will depend on the convenience or not they represent for the citizens. We are here to debate and discuss, not to applaud all proposals to the government.”
