Labor and employment attorney Camilo Cuervo was cited in a Portafolio article where he shared his perspective on the fate of Colombia's labor reform.

Mr. Cuervo commented that the rhetoric from President Gustavo Petro, who has fiercely defended the reforms and fiercely criticized its opponents, is contributing to increased tension between the executive and legislature.

"Not only is the labor reform dead, but with President Petro's attitude in the past 24 hours, the health system reform could suffer the same fate," he said.
