On Thin Ice: The Relationship Between Trade Associations and the Petro Administration

During Gustavo Petro's administration, trade associations ceased to occupy a privileged position in the development of public policy. Their dialogue with those in power changed profoundly, setting precedents that will be difficult to reverse, even for ideologically aligned administrations.
