Sleep informed with the movements of this July 16, 2026

The Council of State suspended a decree that would have reduced the salaries of congress members by removing their special service bonus, a promise made by President Petro during his campaign. This decision came amid six legal challenges, including those brought by individuals close to affected legislators. Meanwhile, Beto Coral, an influencer and activist detained by U.S. immigration authorities, is set to be deported back to Colombia after being captured in Arizona. President Petro has labeled Coral a 'political prisoner' and instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to seek his release. Additionally, controversy arose after Argentine football players displayed flags stating 'Las Malvinas son Argentinas' following their victory over England in the World Cup semi-final, prompting criticism from the UK and potential disciplinary action from FIFA. Lastly, the Historical Pact coalition has yet to decide which candidate to support for the presidency of the Senate ahead of the new legislative session.
