Colombians march against right-wing government in Bogota

Thousands of Colombians march against the right-wing government's hardline policies across Bogota.

Trade unionists, Indigenous people, students, and feminists participated in the demonstration. Gustavo Petro headed Colombia's first-ever leftist administration and widened free access to public universities, oversaw record increases to the minimum wage, and improved labor conditions for employees. Leftists fear that these advances are under threat from his successor, US-backed millionaire Abelardo de la Espriella.
