**Colombian Senate sinks Gustavo Petro's labor reform: New social unrest on the horizon**
In a tumultuous session in the Seventh Committee of the Colombian Senate, Gustavo Petro's proposed labor reform was voted on and ultimately shelved. With eight votes in favor of archiving the reform and six against, the decision was made amidst intense debates and arguments both for and against.
The labor reform, which some considered unconstitutional and detrimental to workers' rights, was rejected by congressmen who criticized it for not creating jobs, increasing informal labor, and harming small and medium-sized business owners. The lack of fiscal endorsement from the Ministry of Finance also played a decisive role in the outcome of the vote.
In the face of the sinking of the reform, the government announced its intention to carry out a popular consultation for citizens to decide on labor-related topics and proposals to be discussed. This decision was not well-received by some sectors of Congress, who believed that the opportunity to improve labor conditions in the country was being missed.
Furthermore, there were moments of high tension and strong statements during the session, both in Congress and at Plaza de Bolívar, where President Petro warned congressmen not to forget that they are representatives of the people and must obey their desires, under the implicit threat of being removed from office if they act against popular interests.
The controversy continues in Colombia's political environment, as a future vote is expected on healthcare reform and the implementation of nine regulatory decrees within the shelved labor reform framework. Meanwhile, the government is progressing in preparing the questions for the popular consultation, which could set the course for labor policies in the country in the coming months.
Social tension is rising with the active participation of sectors such as indigenous communities, who have taken to the streets in protest against Congress' decisions and demand to be heard and considered in future labor discussions and proposals. Colombia's political landscape is gearing up for a new chapter amidst an atmosphere of uncertainty and social mobilizations
