A legal challenge has been filed with Colombia’s Constitutional Court seeking to overturn the national holiday established for July 9th. The lawsuit argues the law creating the holiday violates established constitutional rules. The petitioner has presented three specific reasons for requesting the court to invalidate the article establishing the holiday. Details regarding the specific constitutional violations have not been widely released. This legal action could potentially eliminate the recently created national day. The case is now before the Constitutional Court for review and a ruling is pending. La Silla Vacía first reported on the legal challenge.
