Emergencia económica: piden que la Procuraduría entre al proceso para que se suspenda la medida

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.
