波哥大，10月28日 - 哥伦比亚众议院周三否决了对养老金改革法案中特定条款包的修改，该法案已由宪法法院退回立法机构，法院要求立法者纠正法案中的程序缺陷。
BOGOTA, Oct 28 - Colombia's lower house on Wednesday rejected changes to a package of specific articles from a pension reform bill that had been returned to the legislature by the Constitutional Court, which ordered lawmakers to remedy a procedural flaw in the bill.
8月，宪法法院批准了前总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗主导的2024年养老金制度改革的大部分内容。
In August, the Constitutional Court approved most of the 2024 pension system reform, championed by former President Gustavo Petro.
这一否决意味着参议院批准的法案版本将维持，法院现在需要决定程序缺陷是否已得到纠正。
The rejection means the version of the bill approved by the Senate will stand and the court will now need to decide if the procedural flaw has been corrected.
养老金改革旨在加强国有养老金管理机构科尔彭西奥内斯，削减高额养老金补贴，为有子女的妇女提供福利，并扩大覆盖范围，保护生活在贫困中的老年人。
The pension reform aims to strengthen the state-run pension administrator Colpensiones, reduce subsidies for high pensions, provide benefits to women with children, and expand coverage to protect older adults living in poverty.
该法案将男性退休年龄维持在62岁，女性为57岁。法律要求所有月收入不超过最低工资2.3倍（约400万比索，约合1300美元）的哥伦比亚人向科尔彭西奥内斯缴费。
The bill maintains the retirement age at 62 for men and 57 for women. The law requires all Colombians earning up to 2.3 times the monthly minimum wage — approximately 4 million pesos (about $1,300) — to make contributions to Colpensiones.
收入超过该数额的人可以为其收入的盈余部分选择私人养老金基金。
Those earning above that amount can choose a private pension fund for the surplus portion of their income.
该措施还规定，未能积累足够缴费周数以符合养老金资格的工人将获得援助，而未缴费的贫困人士将每月获得约75美元的付款。佩特罗政府估计，超过260万老年人将从这些措施中受益。
The measure also stipulates that workers who failed to accumulate enough contribution weeks to qualify for a pension will receive aid, while those in poverty who did not contribute will receive a monthly payment of around $75. The Petro government estimated more than 2.6 million older adults will benefit from the measures.
缴费周数达到900周的男性和750周的女性将留在现行制度中，无需向国家基金缴费。
Men with 900 weeks of contributions and women with 750 will remain in the current system and will not be required to contribute to the state fund.
佩特罗主导的一些经济和社会倡议在国会被否决或难以获得批准，他在国会缺乏坚实支持。他8月离任，由右翼总统阿贝拉尔多·德拉埃斯普里亚接替，后者承诺将维持佩特罗的一些受欢迎的社会改革。
Some economic and social initiatives championed by Petro were rejected or faced difficulties gaining approval in Congress, where he lacked solid support. He left office in August and was replaced by right-wing President Abelardo De La Espriella, who has pledged to maintain some of Petro's popular social reforms.
分析人士指出，这项改革是哥伦比亚多年来最重要的社会政策改革之一，将扩大国家在养老金体系中的作用，同时保留私人基金的角色——这个问题长期以来一直使立法者、企业和工会产生分歧。
The reform is one of Colombia’s most significant social policy reforms in years, according to analysts, who note that it would expand the state’s role in the pension system while preserving a role for private funds—an issue that has long divided lawmakers, businesses, and unions.
