TL;DR
- Congresswomen Angélica Lozano and Catherine Juvinao have asked the Attorney General's office to intervene in the government's economic emergency decree (Legislative Decree 1390 of 2025).
- They argue the decree has evident unconstitutionality and does not meet legal requirements for operating.
- The congresswomen contend that the decree's justifications, such as fiscal restrictions and cash flow difficulties, are structural and predictable, not unforeseen events required for an emergency declaration.
- They also highlight that the decree was issued at the start of the judicial recess, potentially delaying effective control by the Constitutional Court.
- A parallel request has been made to the Constitutional Court for an exceptional measure to suspend the decree's effects during its review.
- The congresswomen assert that the decree undermines legislative deliberation and violates the separation of powers.
