Colombian President Gustavo Petro says he will call for a special election in which voters will be able to approve or reject labor reform and health reform.

Petro accused Colombia ’s senate of “mocking” voters by turning down his efforts to reform the labor laws and its health system.

The president has often struggled to get legislation passed by the nation's congress , where his party lacks a majority.
