Through some posts on Twitter, Claudia López rejected and condemned the attacks against some officers of the Metropolitan Police of Bogotá, which appeared in the west of the city in the midst of the national strike.

“One thing is peaceful protest, which we value, respect and accompany with coexistence managers. Another very different is the vandalism crime, against which the Public Force will intervene ”, wrote initially.

Then, he added: “It is absolutely unacceptable for vandals to attack our public servants in this way. We will not allow peaceful citizen protest to infiltrate and delegitimize ”.

The local representative, in the same way, demanded that the organizers and promoters of this new day of protests categorically reject this type of acts against the police and the security forces.

Although some marches went smoothly during the early hours of the morning, several protesters destroyed a police patrol and about 7 Transmilenio buses have been vandalized.

Luis Ernesto Gómez, Secretary of Government of Bogotá, also condemned this type of incident and confirmed the intervention of the Mobile Anti-Riot Squad (ESMAD). “This is not protest. This is crime “, he specified.
