Colombia is afire with a National Strike mounted by working people, young people, and the excluded. They are protesting neoliberal reforms that diminish lives and hopes. Tax reform proposals from President Iván Duque’s right-wing government triggered large demonstrations that began on April 28 and are continuing. Although the government quickly withdrew the tax proposals and the finance minister was dismissed, brutal repression has inflamed the rebellion.
