VOICED : Comité de Paro en Colombia suspende las protestas

The Comité Nacional de Paro in Colombia announced a temporary suspension of protests until July 20. The committee, formed in 2019 and comprising various social groups, is the most visible face of the protests against President Iván Duque. The protests, which began on April 28, demand changes in government policies, an end to police repression, and more support for those affected by the pandemic. Despite the suspension, the committee plans to gather community demands and organize a major mobilization on July 20 to present legislative proposals.
