Calls for political dialog increase as Colombia protests continue 2 minutes read
Bogota, May 6 (EFE).- Voices calling for dialog to end violence in Colombia are gaining prominence as protests against President Ivan Duque’s government continued, a week after they erupted against proposed tax reforms but now viewed as a reflection of the discontent of a large section of society.
As demonstrations continued for the ninth consecutive day on Thursday, Duque made a call to “listen to one another as a society and find solutions” although he has yet to reach out to the protest organizations.
A day earlier, the president accused drug-trafficking mafia of vandalism and looting during the protests.
