Deliberative Roundtable with the National Strike Committee
Following protests and strikes in opposition to, among other things, a tax reform bill, the President of Colombia invited the leaders of the mobilizations to participate in a roundtable. At the table, they requested, among other issues, that the government: comply with agreements signed with students and teachers, quickly implement the peace agreement, and commit not to carry out any provisional or labor reforms. During 2019, various participants withdrew from the negotiating table, and protests continued throughout 2020 and 2021. The roundtable was convened again in 2021.
