Colombians to resume protests against Duque government

The Colombians will resume street actions against the policies of the Iván Duque government, with a national demonstration that was called for the coming Monday, November 25, in the context of the Day of Non-Violence against Women.

The National Unemployment Committee in Colombia made the call this Friday to continue the national strike that began this Thursday with the participation of unions, students and various social movements.

For this November 22 in the afternoon the instance also made a call to join a national casserole to repeat that of this 21 in Bogotá, Cali and Medellín, reported Prensa Latina.

The demonstration on Thursday, which responded to the call made on October 4 at the National Emergency Meeting sponsored by the Central Unitaria de Trabajadores de Colombia (CUT), took place in much of the neighboring country.

The Colombians reject the labor policies and the pension system, together with a supposed “package” that the Iván Duque government will announce soon. They also demand the breach of the peace accords and the systematic murder of peasants and social activities.

Earlier, the Colombian Defense Minister, Carlos Homes Trujillo, reported that the protests left three dead and 273 injured, of which 122 are civilians.
