Colombia's government is willing to accept changes to labor, pension and health reform bills but will try to maintain the spirit of the projects while building agreements where possible, Interior Minister Luis Fernando Velasco said on Monday.
President Gustavo Petro, who will mark his first year in office on Aug. 7, is pushing economic and social reforms to reduce poverty and inequality, alongside his efforts to end Colombia's six-decade armed conflict, which has killed at least 450,000.
The health and pension reforms will continue where they left off in the current session of Congress which began July 20, while the labor reform will be presented again, after lawmakers rejected it. Despite the difficulties, the government has managed to pass a tax reform and a law to give land to rural communities, and it ratified the Escazu agreement, which looks to protect the environment and environmentalists, Velasco added.
