2024 Colombian protests

A series of protests occurred in Colombia on 21 April 2024 against the administration of president Gustavo Petro. Motivations for the protests were diverse, such as concerns about low morale among the public force, as well as opposition to several Petro-led reforms, as well as to his proposal for the creation of a constitutional assembly. Assistants to the protests included members of the opposition, as well as former Petro supporters and healthcare workers. Much of the opposition is due to the governments move to a public-funded healthcare system and moving away from privatized healthcare.
