In the House of Representatives they ensure that, despite the attacks that President Gustavo Petro has led, against the Legislative, all the guarantees have been given for the National Government to process its reforms in the three years that he completes in the House of Nariño.
Two of the most important projects that the Executive has carried out are the pension and labor reformsaccording to the parliamentarian of the Democratic Center, Juan Espinal, who has not supported the articulated ones.
“President Gustavo Petro, so much that he has attacked the Congress of the Republic, but He managed to pass his disastrous labor reform, his pension reformbecause we still do not know if it will happen or not, becauseThere is a lack of constitutionality of the Constitutional Court, which hopefully declares it inexequible, even more, because in the two extra sessions of the House of Representatives, which was committed a complete illegality.

While it is not yet known what will happen to the pension reform, whose future is in the hands of the Constitutional Court, Alejandro Toro, a member of the Historical Pact bench in the Chamber, stressed that “today we have two approved reforms, not as we would like 100%, but that advance, pension reform and labor reform. Well, today with a congress that we don’t have majority, we have to send a clear message and we want to move forward. Therefore, at least by decree, we advance in transformations in health issues. ”
One of the main challenges you will have in its last year, will be to seek the approval of the ‘Total Paz’ project,that will begin its process in the First Commission of the Chamber. For María del Mar Pizarro, representative of the Covenant, it will be a real challenge to get the articulate forward, “I think it is a difficult issue in the Congress of the Republic, but I think it is our duty as Colombians work around living together among Colombians. ”
Other parliamentarians, such as Alejandro García de la Alianza Verde, they assure that peace should be soughtbut this must have a clear horizon that does not leave spaces for improvisation. “I have great observations here. I believe, and I have always believed in peace with method, with order, with a clear northnot dispersing things and not with the disorder and lack of results that this government has had. ”
In the 12 months that they have left as head of state, Gustavo Petro plays one of his flags before Congress, health reform, whose implementation has been advancing through the controversial ‘Decretazo’, who according to representative Andrés Forero, is part of the improvisation shown by the Government.
“Unfortunately, President Gustavo Petro has destroyed in practice the greatest social achievement of Colombia in the last 30 years And with the de facto imposition of its reform, which has not yet been approved, but despite that, he, through decrees and through measures, has ended up implementing the bad ones, since he has affected millions of Colombians (…) we see it with the new health system of the teachers, which was the pilot of health reform and that has been a disaster to the point that even firing,Ideologically so and politically so close to the government has had to go out to criticize it. ”
And in a few weeks the main point of discord is coming, the so -called Financing or Tax Reform LawFor 26.3 billion pesos. The Government will file the articulate before the end of August to seek to level the general budget of 2026.
“A government that likes the fight, that lives from chaos, which uses tools to have a relationship with the tense congress, which blackmailsthat has not understood the independence of powers as a strength of democracy and that, unfortunately, has failed to build a national agreement to govern with unions, with social sectors, with productive sectors, with the private company, ”said the representative of the U Party, Víctor Manuel Salcedo, who requested the execution and less X in this last year.

For analysts, the great conclusion is evolution or involution, depending on the gaze are the one seen, which the head of state had to congress.
As Pedro Viveros warns, he said that in the 36 months he has been in power, there were three petros, “the first, of the coalition, where he took many reforms in an important way, which were the first six months. Then, the petro that closed the government and radicalized it, and there were some very big problems to process those reforms. Bad planning in legislative management. That is why many legislative projects, such as health, labor reform, pension reform, were brought to him. Many projects that the government had, there was a trancon. “
“And the third is that of the trancon in the Senate. In the Senate it is where, by the opposition, the barrier that strengthens democracy has been achieved, because there is contentions to projects that, according to the opposition, are not convenient for the country. Those are the three petros of the legislature, ”he said.
So, Three years of the government of President Gustavo Petro are completed, who has his last 12 months leftand where all your chips will have to be played to move not only the reforms that are in the hands of Congress, but All his electoral power to seek to keep his flags in the house of Nariño for another four years under the so -called ‘government government’.
