COLOMBIA: Political reform proposal survives senate vote
Colombia’s senate voted on 16 December on the much-maligned political reform bill which will now be carried forward to a further four debates after the Christmas break. If it had not been voted through before midnight, that would have been the end of the bill; the proposals to change to a closed list electoral system, seen as the backbone of the government’s reforms, had already been voted down, and so the survival of this weakened bill was crucial for President Iván Duque.
