Colombian President Gustavo Petro's administration expects to win congressional approval of his proposed reforms to fight poverty, exclusion and inequality, but may need to compromise on a controversial health bill and other laws, said Interior Minister Alfonso Prada.
Petro, Colombia's first leftist president, took office just over six months ago. After successfully pushing a tax reform through Congress late last year, more controversial bills slated for this year - including a health reform presented on Monday - have caused tensions among the government's broad coalition and even within Petro's cabinet.
