Inconstitucionalidad del estado de excepción
Por Luis Fernando Álvarez Jaramillo - [email protected]
TL;DR
- The government declared an economic emergency due to a large fiscal gap left by the rejection of the tax reform project.
- The emergency declaration aims to ensure the sustainability of public finances and fund social programs outlined in the National Development Plan.
- Doubts exist regarding the constitutionality of the emergency decree, as the situation might be structural rather than a sudden, overwhelming crisis.
- The constitution requires emergency decrees to be motivated, directly related to the crisis, and aimed at resolving it.
- Congress will review the government's report on the emergency and measures taken, and the decrees will be sent to the Constitutional Court for review.
