Indigenous, Raizal and Palenquero peoples, unions, students, political parties, peasants, women, students, government officials, among others, joined in the ‘March for Life’ that took place in all Colombian cities, particularly Bogota’s Bolivar Square was extraordinarily crowded.

President Gustavo Petro thanked this demonstration of support for the reforms proposed by his government to transform the country ranking fourth worldwide as the most unequal.

“We have to change and transform society so that we can live. It’s as simple as that. To be able to live in Colombia means changing a series of regulations, laws, and ways of understanding. We have to crack down on exclusion, inequality and injustice,” President Petro stressed.

This mobilization is aimed at championing the democratic reforms presented to the national debate, to the political forces and to the Colombian society, Petro added.
