¡SE PRENDE EL DEBATE! PIDEN RECURSOS AL GOBIERNO PARA LOS JÓVENES

The Colombian Congress has reopened the debate on stipends for professional internships in public entities and the future of the "Young State" program. During the Petro administration, this program allowed selected young people to complete their internships while receiving financial assistance, preventing many from having to work for months without any support. Now, the House of Representatives is discussing a bill that seeks to expand this model and make it a more permanent policy, with rules on funding, social security, intern selection, and greater coverage across the country. However, a key question arose during the debate: where will the money to finance these benefits come from? Several members of Congress have asked the Ministry of Finance for clarity on the resources needed to sustain the program and prevent the cost from ultimately falling on municipalities and departments. The debate remains open: should all young people receive financial support during their professional internships in the public sector?
