Despite the fact that this week’s marches were distinguished by their peaceful nature, both those of the indigenous minga and those of this Wednesday, in the closing it was sounding that the call for a month from now doesn’t seem to be that nice.
According to the Investigative Journalism Agency, this mobilization will be “of greater magnitude compared to the one that started on the same date last year“.
According to CM &, the workers’ centrals said that that day it will be “with much more force, recalling that of a year ago”.
One year after the national strike of November 21, the curfew and the death of Dilan Cruz
And that day It will be one year since the national strike that began a string of demonstrations that were only interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020.
On November 21, 2019, the protests that took over the streets of Bogotá and other cities in the country ended up unleashing some of the strongest clashes in recent years between protesters and the Police.
The situation even led President Iván Duque to decree a curfew in Bogotá the following day, Friday, November 22. That night, the capital experienced a situation of anxiety and tension without precedent in recent times due to rumors of alleged acts of vandalism that were ultimately not fully confirmed.
These events had as protagonists a series of strangers who circulated in the streets despite the restriction, sowing fear among the people. However, social media played a critical role in instilling widespread panic with the dissemination of unconfirmed versions of alleged looting attempts and riots in residential areas, which have not been properly investigated or clarified by the authorities.
The next day, the death of the young Dilan Cruz by a shot with a non-lethal weapon by Esmad was the final impulse for the protests to continue for several more days and continue to be called even in 2020. On social networks They even anticipate that the strike on November 21 of this year will be largely in honor of him.
