Mass protests in Colombia continue into second week amid deadly repression Amid Colombia’s worst economic crisis in recorded history and its deadliest wave of COVID-19 infections, hundreds of thousands have joined mass marches, roadblocks and other protests across the South American country every day for the last week. The recent protests began with a national strike on April 28 called by the National Strike Committee, a coalition of trade union confederations, farmers’ associations and student groups formed in 2019 to channel growing unrest in the working class behind negotiations with the far-right government of President Iván Duque. The strike was triggered by Duque’s announcement of Latin America’s first COVID-19 tax overhaul, as the Colombian ruling elite seeks to lead the region in placing the entire burden of the pandemic crisis on the shoulders of the working class.
