Colombia's anti-government protests to resume on January 21
by Adriaan Alsema January 15, 2020
Social organizations throughout Colombia are preparing the resumption of anti-government protests as talks with the government are set to resume.
Following a meeting on Monday, the organizers of a national strike that triggered the protests in November last year told press they endorsed online calls to massively bang on pots and pans on Tuesday in support of the country’s social leaders.
We agreed to hold a simultaneous “cacerolazo” in all the cities of Colombia starting at 5PM, to express our rejection of the assassination of social leaders and also of the illegal interceptions that the Army has been making for so long.
The representatives of students, farmers, labor unions and ethnic minorities are set to meet with emissaries of President Ivan Duque on Sunday in an attempt to convince the government to negotiate demands for far-reaching economic and peace policy changes.
