Colombia’s Interior Ministry has altered weekend alcohol sales restrictions in Bogotá, extending them later than initially proposed by the city’s mayor’s office. The new regulations will begin on Saturdays at 6:00 PM and last until noon on Mondays, a full day beyond the timeframe favored by the Bogotá administration. This decision marks a further adjustment to the “ley seca” (dry law) hours, which have been a point of contention. The Ministry’s move represents a direct challenge to the authority of the local government regarding public order measures. Details of the reasoning behind the Ministry’s overruling were not immediately available. This latest development suggests ongoing tension between national and local authorities concerning policy implementation. The altered schedule is expected to impact businesses and residents alike.
