In the midst of the marches that take place this Monday, September 21 in Bogotá and other cities of the country against the abuse of force by the Police and some recent measures that the Government has taken, the aggression was known by from a uniformed to a congresswoman.

This is the representative of Alianza Verde Katherine Miranda, who from an early age participates in the marches that take place in the capital.

When they went to the Plaza de Bolívar, where a rally is to be held, Miranda and Congressman Inti Asprilla witnessed the retention of a man by members of the Police.

At that time, Asprilla intervened, but was surrounded by several uniformed men who arrived on a motorcycle, so the congressman had to take out his license to avoid being attacked.

In the midst of the confusion, and once the policemen took the young man away, according to a video recorded by Representative Asprilla, Congresswoman Miranda is seen holding her knee and making gestures of pain, at which point it is known that, as they say colloquially, “they threw the motorcycle over her.”

As can be seen in the images, the aggression apparently did not pass to the elderly and the congressmen continued their mobilization.
