On Monday, September 26, demonstrations will be held by citizens, independent groups and associations to protest the reforms presented in the Government. Gustavo Petro. Concentrations are expected to begin at 10 am.
According to Pierre Onzaga, who led this initiative, the march day is against projects such as the Election Act, labor reform, tax reform, and others. According to him, the Government should examine and re-present the reforms very well. The concentration points are as follows:
– Plaza Héroes Caídos CAN Calle 26, towards Plaza de Bolivar.
– Towards the National Park, Plaza de Bolivar.
In the demonstration that continued on 26th Street in the morning hours, citizens tried to reach the assembly points with banners and whistles in their hands. Protesters disagree on tax reform, rising fuel prices and higher taxes on single-use plastics.
