Colombia’s center-right parties said Wednesday that they supported next week anti-government protests and urged President Ivan Duque to distance himself from “radical voices.”
In an extraordinary press conference, leaders of the Liberal Party, Radical Change and the U Party said they supported the national strike initially organized by the trade unions.
Furthermore, the party spokespersons urged Duque “not to entrench himself with a closed circle of radical voices.”
Instead, the lawmakers urged the president to open dialogues with the unionists, students and indigenous leading the protests and prepare far-reaching policy changes.
