President Gustavo Petro’s endorsement of First Line vandals during a trip to Cali sparks widespread outrage and concerns over Colombia’s political stability
Political violence and attacks by First Line vandals raise concerns as the Bogotá mayoral elections approach. On saturday, the First Line attempted to torch a police command post.
Colombia President Gustavo Petro has called for the early release of hundreds of youngsters who are incarcerated for committing acts of violence during last year’s National Strike.
After two months in which Bogotá has been attacked by vandals, the district’s new Security Secretariat must justify why militarization is not an option despite threats of more violence.
