This time, the new draft constitutional reform that seeks the repeal of this justice is headed by Senator Milla Romero Soto, who came to Congress to replace former President Álvaro Uribe, after the resignation presented by the former president to the corporation.
“We present a project to repeal the JEP, a system that costs Colombians 300 billion pesos and that has failed in its objective of guaranteeing truth, justice, reparation and non-repetition, no more impunity for the Farc,” Romero indicated.

This anouncement coincides with what was raised by former President Uribe last Monday, when he again spoke of a referendum that would have among its purposes the repeal of the JEP.
“I have thought a lot about the consequences of the judicial system that we inherited from the previous government. This set of regulations linked to the JEP consecrated total impunity for atrocities such as kidnapping and rape of minors. The truth has become a premeditation to deny or edit the facts according to the political interest, ”said Uribe.

In any case, It should be clarified that at this time a constitutional reform has very little viability, not only because of the political tension that it can generate, but also because times are too short to be able to approve it.
