Colombian President Proposes National Constituent Assembly

Caracol Radio Colombia Bogota 12d12d Impact 8

President Gustavo Petro has called for a National Constituent Assembly to implement social reforms and change the country's political system. The announcement comes amid ongoing May Day marches in Colombia. The move is being discussed alongside current labor demonstrations. A commentator noted that no president should be absolutely autonomous in decision-making without consulting the Colombian people. He stated that no one in Colombian society should make decisions without consulting the rest of the population. Critics argue the move toward a new system could lead to a more authoritarian structure and distance the country from citizen participation. The current 1991 constitution is noted for being progressive and inclusive of various populations. The proposal aims to include a wide range of populations and prevent the concentration of power.
