This Sunday, Colombians will go to the polls to choose the 108 senators and the 188 representatives to the House that will make up the Legislative between 2022 and 2026.
Portfolio consulted with the candidates who head the Senate lists of the main parties and movements regarding their economic proposals and the discussions on this matter that they consider should take place in Congress.
(Businessmen and health employees, to the political arena with these parties).
Most of the proposals agree on the need for a new tax reform, in which small businessmen and ordinary citizens are the protagonists. And the job becomes the protagonist of several proposals, from labor reforms that make the hiring system more flexible, to giving continuity to employment subsidies.
Tertiary roads, rural reform, investment in agriculture and education and the implementation of a national care system, are some of the proposals with which the benches would arrive for the next legislatures.
