The meeting places are the Secretary of the Environment of Bogotá, the Pedagogical University and Carrera 18 with Calle 84 and, although the call of those who call the demonstrations is for them to be peaceful, the Directorate of Criminal Investigation and Interpol (Dijin) warned that some of the protests can be violent.
The demonstration that will be presented earlier is that of the waste pickers, which was called for 8:00 am at Carrera 18 with Calle 84. It is a sit-in with which the servers seek to defend their work. “We have to fight for the defense of the waste pickers’ right to work and to pay for the service provided in the city,” says the call.
