Colombia's lower house rejects changes to pension reform articles

BOGOTA, Oct ‌28 (Reuters) - Colombia's lower house on Wednesday ​rejected ‌changes to a package ‌of specific articles from a pension ‌reform bill that had been returned to the legislature by the ⁠Constitutional Court, which ‌ordered lawmakers ⁠to remedy a procedural ​flaw in the bill.

In August, the Constitutional ​Court approved most ​of ‌the 2024 pension system ​reform, championed ⁠by former President ‌Gustavo Petro.

The ​rejection ​means the version of the bill approved by the Senate will stand ‌and the court will now need ‌to ​decide if the procedural flaw has been corrected.
