BOGOTA, Colombia.- Political and social movements in Colombia envisage a major national strike next April 25 in defense of the Peace Agreement and in rejection of the Government’s National Development Plan.

According to authorities of the South American nation, union groups, students and human rights defenders will demand in the streets that the statutory law of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace be punished.

They will also urge the Colombian State to comply with the agreements with different sectors and guilds, such as teachers, students, indigenous, pensioners, peasants and workers.

Colombia is going through an intensification of the social protest, demonstrated in the Indigenous Minga that meets 23 days in defense of ancestral rights of the native peoples.
