After the approval and elimination of article 210 of the Royalties Law that allowed fracking in Colombia, what continues is the reconciliation of the bill.

Senator Angélica Lozano Correa explained on her Twitter account, after the vote, what implied eliminating article 210. “This is a goodbye to tax incentives for the exploration and exploitation of unconventional deposits. Fracking kills and this is a strong message from the citizens, through the Senate, to the country “.

During the broadcast, which lasted more than six hours, 44 congressmen voted in favor and 39 voted against.

What follows is a reconciliation of the two texts presented by the House and the Senate. Both plenaries must choose an equal number of conciliators, a maximum of five for each of them. The group of 10 people will choose one of the two texts presented and that will enter the vote again.

Senator Gustavo Petro spoke on the matter on his Twitter account, stating that “we must pay close attention to conciliation.”
