With 24 votes in favor in the House of Representatives and 13 in the third commission of the Senate, the bill was defeated.
The newspaper La República reported that in a political debate, the joint economic commissions three and four of the Senate and the House of Representatives approved the withdrawal of the sustainable solidarity bill; tax reform.
In total there were 24 votes in favor and zero against the withdrawal of the bill in the fourth commission of the House of Representatives; while in the third commission of the Senate there were 13 votes in favor. It should be noted that after the announcement of President Iván Duque, the Ministry of Finance submitted the formal request for withdrawal before Congress.
The letter of request was signed by the former Vice Minister of Finance, Juan Alberto Londoño, who assured that so far the project had no paper for first debate, which is a necessary condition for a project to be withdrawn as provided in Article 155 of Law 5 of 1992.
