The Association of Bars of Colombia (Asobares) asked the Constitutional court to review how the Prohibition Law will be applied for the next elections.
David Contreras, member of the national board of directors of Asobares, said that they are working in Congress with several groups regarding the beginning of the dry law for the ordinary elections, a measure that is from six in the afternoon on Saturday, until six in the morning on Monday.
“With a view to the March elections, the first presidential round in May and a possible second round in June, it is more important that the Constitutional Court rule quickly on the revision of this Law approved in Congress, where the law is limited dry at the time of the day on election day,” said Contreras.
A weekend is everything in our activity. The operation of the establishments has a concentration on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays
The spokesman added that “said decision would greatly help multiple economic activities and their workforce, which would see an infinitely lesser impact than the damage it has caused since the 1980s.”
For her part, Adriana Plata, president of Asobares, said: “A weekend is everything in our activity. The operation of the establishments has a concentration on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays which, with 12 days of work, the costs of the whole month must be paid. Each weekend that advances has a specific destination, where the generality is that one is destined for payroll, the second for rent payments, the third for the payment of suppliers and services and the fourth, the profitability of the company and provision for taxes.”
Due to the foregoing, the representatives of the union asked the Constitutional Court that, given the situation they experienced with the pandemic and that there are several days of elections, “it would be a great boost for the procedure and decision to be carried out in the Court so that the limitation of the dry law adjusts solely and exclusively to the time and day of the electoral appointment”.
