Colombia’s three largest cities are bracing for an extended third peak in coronavirus cases and over-stretched intensive care units after nearly two weeks of anti-government protests, local authorities said.
Demonstrations fuelled by outrage at a now-cancelled tax plan began on April 28. Protesters’ demands have expanded to include a basic income, an end to police violence and the withdrawal of long-debated health reform.
Marches look set to continue for the foreseeable future, with protest leaders and the government at odds despite an initial meeting to discuss the demands.
The first meeting between Colombia’s president Ivan Duque and the National Strike Committee ended on Monday without an agreement between the parties.
