“We will arguably propose that labor reform, which they screwed up with filibustering techniques, be re-discussed by Colombian society, the banker and also the lady of red wine.”

At the meeting held at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University, Petro invited Congress to move forward in the discussion of new projects to be submitted to the Legislature, such as those related to agrarian reform and higher education.

“The government of change will invite the Colombian Congress to make laws of peace, laws of national and democratic transformation, and we will invite the banker to dialogue with us,” he said.

On the other hand, he also talked about the ‘Marshall plan’ he proposed to combat climate change. “We will now take the world’s biggest bankers to Cartagena in September to see if life on Earth is consolidating and connecting with the new, contemporary debates driving the financial world. they are not taking it from us like an omnibus through the planet and climate crisis”.

On the other hand, referring to the marches against his government in various cities of the country this week, he questioned the motives of those who took to the streets and compared it to the civil war between conservatives and liberals in 1851. after the abolition of slavery.
