Fenalco’s proposal was accepted by the National Government.
Colombia News.
Father’s Day, which would be celebrated on June 19 in our country, was postponed for reasons of the presidential elections that coincide with that special date for Colombian families.
The new date was set for next Sunday, June 26, a date on which there will be no type of restriction in terms of capacity in restaurants and shopping centers to buy details or celebrate the day.
This decision was made by the National Government after a proposal presented by the National Federation of Entrepreneurs (FENALCO), an entity that collected the suggestions of the merchants thinking about the second round of the presidential elections.
The argument that this organization put forward to postpone the date is based precisely on the behavior that consumers will have on that date, the day on which they will go en masse to the polls to choose between Gustavo Petro and Rodolfo Hernández, the new president of the nation.
