According to El Tiempo, the Colombian congress has a number of pending legislative items, but is making slow progress: 260 proyectos discutirá el Congreso en sesiones ordinarias, tras pobres resultados en las extras
La reforma incluye severos castigos para los partidos que permitan la inscripción de candidatos relacionados con los grupos armados ilegales.

En la actualidad, estas consultas se pueden hacer, pero solo para escoger el candidato de un solo partido.

Oops–this was supposed to be saved as a draft and I was going to add to it later!
But yes, it is an odd situation. One wonders if it will lead to consolidation of the parties or if the differences as such that it will be difficult for support to emerge for the a post-Uribe Uribista (so to speak).

Well, it’s out there now, and linked to!
