Several members of Congress from the Historical Pact launched strong criticisms against the government of Abelardo de la Espriella regarding the national budget, the increase in debt, social spending cuts, and the possibility of resorting to the International Monetary Fund.
During their speeches, they also denounced cuts that would affect farmers, Afro-Colombian communities, housing programs, health, culture, and agrarian reform. In addition, several representatives questioned fumigation policies, the handling of the security forces, and what they consider increasing political pressure against members of the opposition.
The congressmen defended the social policies implemented during Gustavo Petro's administration and argued that the fiscal adjustment should not fall on the working class, but rather on those with greater economic means.
In this video, we have compiled some of the most forceful speeches by the Historical Pact in Congress, their criticisms of the current government, and their calls to defend social rights, public investment, and the regions.
