Álvaro Uribe revealed details of the Democratic Center's bill to modify Gustavo Petro's pension reform: "Regressive subsidies are eliminated."

On August 25, 2026, Colombia's Constitutional Court voted 7-1 to approve 90% of the articles within the pension reform championed by the government of former president Gustavo Petro. Following the ruling, political figure Álvaro Uribe disclosed details regarding a legislative bill introduced by the Centro Democrático party aimed at modifying the newly validated reform.

According to Uribe, the proposed modifications focus specifically on eliminating what the party describes as regressive subsidies within the current pension framework. The Centro Democrático's initiative seeks to alter the structure of Petro's approved reform, marking a direct political challenge to the implementation of the high court's decision.
