El Consejo de Estado suspendió el Capítulo 5 del Decreto 415 de 2026, que ordenaba a las AFP trasladar inmediatamente $25 billones a Colpensiones. La medida cautelar afecta los ahorros de quienes se trasladaron de régimen pero aún no cumplen requisitos pensionales. Asofondos pidió extender la suspensión a los $5 billones restantes.

El Consejo de Estado decidió suspender parcialmente el Decreto 415 del 20 de abril de 2026, emitido por el Gobierno para acelerar el traslado de recursos de las Administradoras de Fondos de Pensiones (AFP) al Régimen de Prima Media (RPM) de Colpensiones. La demanda de Jesús Hernando Baena Álvarez argumentó exceso de potestad reglamentaria y riesgo financiero, ya que el decreto exigía entregar 50% del capital en 20 días y el resto en 10 días más.

La suspensión aplica al Capítulo 5, que ordena transferir ahorros de unos 100.000 cotizantes que se acogieron a la ventana de traslado pero no han consolidado su derecho pensional. El Capítulo 6, sobre $5 billones de 20.000 personas ya pensionadas, podría subsistir, según análisis jurídicos. Andrés Velasco, presidente de Asofondos, pidió complementar la medida para incluir estos fondos restantes, afirmando: "mal haríamos en trasladarlos".

Velasco explicó que los $25 billones provienen de cotizantes no elegibles ($20 billones) y pensionados ($5 billones), y enfatizó: "La única forma de tener un sistema pensional sostenible es creándolo alrededor del ahorro". Un documento técnico de Asofondos advierte de impactos en portafolios, como ventas forzadas de acciones por $3,59 billones y presiones en TES.

El ministro de Trabajo, Antonio Sanguino, acusó a las AFP de querer retener el control de recursos de 120.000 trabajadores, mientras el presidente Gustavo Petro lo calificó de "verdadero robo". Velasco replicó que no hay comisiones sobre esos ahorros y deben permanecer en las AFP.
