Yesterday, the Conquering Self-Defense Forces of the Sierra Nevada insisted again on demanding that the National Government have a place in the ‘Total Peace’ project, defending that they are an organization with political status.
At the same time, in a statement, several community leaders and representatives of peasant and indigenous associations announced that this Wednesday they would begin a civic strike on the Troncal del Caribe, which would extend to the townships of Minca, Guachaca and Bonda.
Today, while the march takes place that will have as its destination the entrance to the Tayrona National Natural Park, this is the panorama that can be seen throughout the Troncal road corridor: loneliness and closed businesses.
Neighborhood stores and large stores complied, by will or fear, with the announcement to cease activities.
It is important to mention that since 6:30 am, Mayor Carlos Pinedo installed a PMU made up of the District Person’s Office, the Ombudsman’s Office and our Public Force, as reported, “to articulate, supervise and take actions that allow guaranteeing the legitimate right to the protest of the peasant communities, communal and indigenous leaders, Afro-descendants, tourism unions and businessmen of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, as well as the rights of those who will not participate in the demonstration that will begin tomorrow, June 12, from La Vereda Mendihuaca, in the Tayrona National Natural Park, and that seeks to demand the installation of dialogue tables for peace.”
