“It is very likely that health reform will fall into the Constitutional Court,” said Congressman Andres Forero.

Sanitary reform has become a point of honor for the president Gustavo Petrobut along the way it ended up being a turning point for a government coalition that responded to the president’s initial intent to rule with all and for all.

However, the course of this reform was very complicated and on Wednesday, April 26, the day it was scheduled to be discussed in Seventh Committee of the House of Representativesdiscussion First discussion.

with departure Carolina Cork, One of the President’s hard-line ministers, And with entry into place, Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo, Jarrah, the former mayor of Ibague, who has been in the clamor for mayoral candidates of Bogotá, what future do you see for this reform?

Well, according to Andres Foreroa representative in the House of Representatives to Democratic CenterIdeally, the Petro government would withdraw the articles so that a new proposal reflecting a broad consensus on them could be reintroduced to the legislature.

“I think the president has already made a decision to fire the minister and now he has to make the decision fix pull And Big lift National Health Convention. I hope that the new President and Minister will now find a way to bring together all the actors in the sector, something that Minister Carolina Corcho did not do. For the government to call in the sick, to call in the doctors, to call in the academy and all parties, because everyone, absolutely everyone, is interested in improving the health system, but building on what has been built. This is what one wants, more than one expects, but the government has to consider this possibility,” a representative of the chamber told Infobae Colombia.

Andres Forero also warned that it is very likely that this reform will not see the light of day, because throughout the process that took place in the Chamber there were procedural flaws that could cause it to fall before a court. constitutional court.

As a member of the Seventh Committee and a member of the opposition, I know I cannot lower my credit because despite the fact that the Minister is leaving, despite all that has happened, the Reformation is very much alive. And because of the way the head of the body, Ameth Jose Escaf, He led the debate, he basically got the project wrong (mistakes were made in the amendment introduced by government speakers) and in this sense I think that even if this reform succeeds in passing all the tricks and tricks they used, it is very likely and there is a great risk that it will fall in the Constitutional Court ”, concluded the representative and head of the Democratic Center list in the 2022 elections regarding reform.

Finally, the Representative took the opportunity to ask the new Minister for a statement regarding the complaints the Representative had made about Directorate of Promotion and Prevention “Precisely because this title was occupied by a person who was at that time Minister of Health in the city of Ibagi when he was mayor. They are serious complaints, and he, as the next minister, must make himself known, ”concluded the representative of Forero to this means of communication.
