BOGOTA. Congress president Senator Iván Name of the Green Alliance told EL HERALDO that the government’s reforms should have deep and slow debate in the legislature as they intend to change an institutional framework spanning three decades.
“Congress has a dynamic and it requires a process and a certain amount of time, now we can’t despair of rushing to do what hasn’t been done or what hasn’t been done or what needs to be done. Everything requires a rhythm, here we do not yet have final presentations for plenary sessions, so in the case of, for example, the pension reform, which already has its first debate in the Seventh Committee (of the Senate), it can be carried out until a registered presentation is,” he explained. the head of the Capitol.
The other initiatives, he specified, “have continued their studies and will undergo the rigorous analysis process, to be able to agree on what we can agree on, and that we can calmly look at the institutional adjustments, because we cannot be rushed. The institutional framework that we have today in different industries has been going on for 30 years and what we do or don’t do can be for the same time or longer, in such a way that the congress is not a 100 meter sprint or a sprint, but rather a careful procedure so that the best for the nation emerges”.
And Name concluded that in the end in the Legislature “there is no delay in the process, because to prepare a presentation for a plenary session it takes months, because you have to make adjustments, consult. There is no need to create a climate of speed for the reforms, because they are very important”.
