Colombia's right-wing President Ivan Duque
COLOMBIAN trade unions joined students on a national demonstration today and announced a general strike against right-wing President Ivan Duque’s neoliberal labour and pension reforms.
The Unitary Central of Workers of Colombia (CUT) said a second day of action was planned for October 17, with further strikes set to take place on November 21.
