Colombia: Organizations to demonstrate nationwide Aug. 7 in support of President Gustavo Petro's administration

Pro-government activists, including members of the Unitarian Workers' Central (Central Unitaria de Trabajadores, CUT) union, plan to demonstrate throughout Colombia on Aug. 7 to commemorate the two-year anniversary of President Gustavo Petro's administration. The main protest is scheduled in Bogota, where activists will march from Parque Nacional to Plaza de Bolivar starting at 09:00. While CUT leaders confirmed they plan to hold rallies in multiple other locations, specific sites have not been confirmed. Likely protest locations include Medellin, Cali, and Barranquilla.

Thousands will likely participate in the demonstration in Bogota and other cities, including Cali, Medellin, and Barranquilla, with associated transport disruptions. Heightened security near government buildings and main roads is also likely.
