Precisely, the publication points out that at the end of last year and after having achieved the approval of an ambitious tax reform, which was backed by a multi-party cabinet and a broad coalition in Congress, President Petro still had 48% approval, but six months later (June 2) it had already dropped to 33.8%. These are measurements from the Invamer polling company and also indicate that for 66% of Colombians today the changes promised in the campaign are not evident.
Regarding the reforms, the article talks about the need to call extra sessions to ensure that key projects for the Government do not die in the current legislature and that they can continue to be debated after July 20. This desire is due to the end of the political coalition that Petro had achieved and that gave him majorities in the Legislative. “The Petro of the consensus went from one day to the next, to be the verbose leader of calls to the people to defend in the street what his team was unable to consolidate in Congress, thus fueling mistrust. In addition, the opaque political retailing to achieve favorable votes threw overboard one of the standards with which the former senator Petro questioned the traditional parties of the center and of the right, ”says the publication.
However, the author of the note says that perhaps the ‘Petro dialogante’ will return with the new legislature to unravel the reforms, although it will have to face a Congress in election mode, which would make this process more difficult.
