BreakingviewsGuest view: Colombiaâs struggle against poverty
Veronica Uribe-Kessler
Demonstrators take part in a protest in Bogota, Colombia, May 9, 2021.
When the pandemic hit Colombia in March 2020, and the country faced its first one-month lockdown, President Ivan Duque announced a one-time cash transfer of $40 â equivalent to 12% of the minimum monthly wage. None of the members of my family received such a transfer. Classified as a low-income household, living in a rural area in the southwest of the country, my parents still wonder why, despite the governmentâs announcement of a subsidy, nothing arrived. Fortunately, my parents have me. I send remittances with my part-time job at Smith College, but not all rural families can count on a relative in the United States.
