Alvaro Uribe`s allies presented in the Colombian Congress, today, an amendment proposing one more reelection for 2014. The initiative came from dozens of congressmen who are integrants of Uribe`s coalition. If the amendment is approved, this will be the second Constitutional Reform under Uribe`s administration.

The proposal is being headed by the Partido Social de Uniao Nacional (Social Party of National Unity).

Uribe has announced several times that he does not have the intention to go for another reelection. If he is not tempted by the possibility of an approval in the Congress, Uribe will probably support General Juan Manuel Santos, and then try to go back after 2014.
