Colombia is mulling tax reform measures as protests sparked by now-withdrawn proposed changes show no sign of subsiding and in fact become more violent.
The government proposed fiscal changes on April 27 as part of an effort to improve the country s finances badly hit by pandemic lockdowns. Protests followed the next day and have continued.
At least 42 people have died and more than 1,500 have been injured in the unrest, according to official figures. On Wednesday a convoy of 15 trucks carrying about 500 tons of medical aid escorted by the Colombian Red Cross was attacked.
