This meeting, which had been agreed since last week, has the objective of “having a red wine” to talk about the health reform promoted by the Government in Congress, which is being discussed in the second debate in the Chamber and to which the party of the ex-president opposes.
The meeting began around 6:30 in the afternoon and was attended by several congressmen from the Democratic Center and the Historical Pact, as well as the Minister of the Interior, Luis Fernando Velasco.
Among the group of Uribe parliamentarians is Andrés Forero, who has raised the voices that oppose this bill that seeks to reform the Colombian health system. Senators Paloma Valencia and Carlos Meisel were also present.
Around 8 pm, it was reported that the conclusions of the meeting between the president and the leader of the Democratic Center will be announced tomorrow, Thursday at 7 am.
At that time, former President Uribe is expected to lead a press conference from the headquarters of that political party in Bogotá, where he will provide details of the meeting.
Uribismo has been one of the staunchest opponents of health reform, which wants to overturn the current system, in which Álvaro Uribe participated in 1993 as a speaker in the Senate for Law 100.
