For its part, it also reproaches the government’s call to make a popular consultation, because this could cost the public treasury more than 500 billion pesos, “Without guaranteeing previous citizen participation or the success of the mechanism, as already happened with the failed anti -corruption consultation”.
The action also requested that the State Council magistrate apply the exception of unconstitutionality to article 2 of Law 754 of 2002, considering that this rule prevents social reforms from being debated by the 280 congressmen who integrate the Senate and the House of Representatives.
