Tens of thousands converged on Bogotá’s central square to insist the government maintain the minimum wage for young people and the universal right to a pension, while President Ivan Duque warned his government will not tolerate violence
BOGOTA - Colombian unions, student groups and other protesters were marching on Thursday to insist the government maintain the minimum wage for young people and the universal right to a pension, even though the government says those are not part of reform plans.
At a time of unrest in other Latin American countries, Colombian police this week raided activists and a culture magazine, while Colombia’s President Ivan Duque warned his government will not tolerate violence. Other groups of marchers are expected to participate to protest what they say is a lack of government action to prevent the murder of hundreds of human rights activists, corruption at universities and other issues.
Police raids late on Tuesday drew wide criticism on social media when staff at the Cartel Urbano magazine posted videos showing cops rifling through artwork while staff questioned the reason for the raid.
