The government of Gustavo Petro has presented a bill to establish the concept of 'living wage' as the basis for setting the minimum wage in Colombia. This move comes amidst a legal dispute over the 23.7% increase decreed for 2026, which remains in effect while the Council of State decides its legality. Experts warn that the legislative initiative could generate more legal conflicts if the concept is not clearly defined. The bill will be debated by the new Congress and the incoming government of Abelardo de la Espriella.
