Colombia is going through one of the most shameful moments in its recent history and there is no international reaction forcefully denouncing it. Where is the United Nations? Just some lukewarm and late statements. Oh, if they were Cuba or Venezuela! The country of the sacred heart is murdering and disappearing the body and soul of its most important value: youth. An educated but ignored youth, a peaceful but violated youth, a critical but criticized youth. For the Colombian Government they are just a bunch of vandals. 2Faced with a regressive and unfair tax reform, currently withdrawn, which is only the tip of an iceberg of the serious social injustices experienced in the country, the population, despite the risks of the pandemic, has taken to the streets to march and protest peacefully.
Yes, in peace. Although the media, national and the few international ones that talk about it, focus only on the excesses of a few and the containers and shop windows Iraq Telegram Number Data are more important than the lives and crimes of the State and its henchmen against innocent citizens. According to data from the NGO Temblores, during these days of mobilizations that began on April 28, and until May 4, there have been 1,443 cases of police violence, 31 murders, 814 arbitrary arrests of protesters, 216 victims of physical violence and 10 of sexual violence by public forces. To that we should add the missing people. These are figures that would alarm anyone if the facts were from any “dictatorship” or banana republic.
What is happening in Colombia is not new. In a beautiful land full of good people, a false democracy has been established for two hundred years that maintains the privileges of a few and excludes the many; There is a covert war camouflaged under the euphemism of “armed conflict,” and there is the systematic murder of social, political, union, and peasant leaders… If there is a country that is unequal and unjust, and violent against its own, that is it. Colombia. The nation that always looks north, to big brother, and follows neoliberal economic policies and neo-fascist social and political policies.
