TL;DR
- Colombian business groups have requested the Constitutional Court suspend President Gustavo Petro's economic emergency declaration.
- They argue the declaration lacks constitutional grounds, as the alleged fiscal problems are structural and foreseeable, not sudden or exceptional.

- Concerns include the potential imposition of taxes like the 5x1000, wealth tax for companies, and special taxes on oil and coal.
