National strike opinion:

From November 21, 2019 in Colombia the national strike began, the mobilizations were
called by unions, retirees, public school teachers and students from public and private
universities to which a number of people who demanded for tax reforms joined, health,
environment, education, etc. In addition to the voice of a tired people represented by a
historic cacerolazo, citizens have every right to claim everything that is being violated and
even the injustices caused by the state.

However, the objective of the national strike was completely lost due to the violence
that was generated with institutions such as the police and Esmad until December 4, the
only results that have been evidenced are deaths, aggressions, irreparable damages,
damages in the city, like burning containers, looting in department stores and destroying
transmileno stations and in what regards without a blunt response from the president.

To conclude, it is devastating to see how the country is going through such a deplorable
situation, in the first place for not having clarity and bringing corruption to power and then
protesting. In fact, the yellowness that circulates through the media is impressive, generates
panic not in search of solutions, but tends to generate more controversy, so we should not
judge without knowing, point out without having clear arguments in summary, not put
everyone in the same bag because:

• There are soldiers who abuse, others hug and work for our safety.

• There are protesters who steal, but also protesters who vibrate and make themselves felt
for their rights without calling for violence.

• There are politicians who steal, who lie, but there are those who fight and have common
sense.

"Therefore, there is nothing or nothing, if we want justice, let's be fair"
