COLOMBIA: Congress rejects 2025 budget proposal
Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro began the current legislative period in July with an attempt to mend bridges with congress [WR-24-29]. Two months later, the détente has been abandoned, with economic commissions in both chambers archiving the government’s budget proposal for 2025. In response, Petro said on 24 September that he would promulgate the budget by decree – a move which is certain to draw legal challenges from conservative lawmakers. The latest escalation of tensions bodes poorly for the government’s political reform bill, which was presented to congress on the same day.
