Bogotá, Jun 6 (EFE).- Colombia’s National Strike Committee (CNP), made up mainly of unions, has decided to “unilaterally suspend” talks over the country’s social crisis, the government said Sunday.
“Today, the committee has decided to unilaterally suspend the dialog at the dialog table. We, the government, are ready,” said government spokesman and presidential adviser for stabilization and consolidation, Emilio Archila.
The talks between the government and the committee have been ongoing without progress, with the former calling for road blockades to be lifted and the latter accusing the government of not wanting to sign guarantees to peaceful protest, limiting the use of force by the police.

Bogotá, May 28 (Prensa Latina) The National Unemployment Committee today blamed the Government of Iván Duque for the stagnation in negotiations of the emergency document due to its delay in signing the preliminary agreement on Colombia s social protest in Colombia. We regret that the national government does not have an answer on the preliminary agreement we reached regarding guarantees for the exercise of social protest, said Francisco Maltés, president of the Central Unitaria de Trabajadores de Colombia.
Therefore, this delaying attitude means that the person responsible for the strike is the Government of President Duque, which does not understand the complexity of the situation in the country, he emphasized.
