The mayor of Bogotá Claudia López is officially welcoming the indigenous Minga at the Palacio de los Deportes, where they will be housed during their stay in the capital. This headquarters was chosen for being the most biosecure.
Officials from various entities are at the site: health, mobility, security so that the indigenous people have all the attention they require not only for their mobilization but also for health care in the framework of the covid-19 pandemic. All the treatments that they want to do in traditional medicine and in the appropriate spaces will be respected. There will be an ancestral care area.
“This is a minga and they have their traditions and that is raw,” said López. There will also be representatives from various indigenous communities and they will be mediators during your stay. The president said that everything is organized by reservations. “From the pockets of Bogota we have taken out of our pockets to attend the minga but they arrive in the capital due to the impossibility of reaching agreements with President Iván Duque.” He added that they should not be stigmatized.

It should be remembered that this decision was made after strong pronouncements not only from the local president but also from the government secretary Luis Ernesto Gómez.

They did not want. @Bogota will take care of it, receive them and, as always, will agree with social organizations, guarantees for their peaceful mobilization, ”the president wrote on Twitter.
In the same sense, the Secretary of Government spoke: “Public space will always be guaranteed to exercise the rights to protest, and the best way for the protest to be peaceful and guaranteed is to coordinate with whoever organizes it.”
