House and Senate committees ready for July 20

The article outlines the selection of 35 senators and 32 representatives who will serve as compromisarios to determine leadership positions within Colombia's Congress. These roles include presiding over 14 committees (seven in each chamber) and the presidencies of both chambers, which will be decided on July 20. The process involves negotiations between political parties, particularly highlighting tensions between the ruling Center Democratic Party and opposition factions. The Uribismo faction seeks candidates aligned with Álvaro Uribe, while the Pacto Histórico, led by the majority in the Senate, has selected Carolina Corcho as its representative. In the Chamber of Representatives, the Pacto's group is headed by Aída Quilcué, a former leftist vice-presidential candidate. The article emphasizes the political maneuvering involved in reshaping congressional power.
