Colombians Mobilize In Support Of Pension Reform
Thousands of Colombians took to the plazas of towns and cities across the country on September 19 to reject the attempts by the Colombian right-wing to overthrow the democratically elected government of Gustavo Petro and ratify their support to his government’s Pension Reform. The latest plot was denounced by the head of state last week on September 12, when Petro outlined that there was a plan underway to overthrow his government and replace him with Efrain Cepeda Sarabia, who is currently the president of the Congress of the Republic.
The Conspiracy Denounced By Petro
According to Petro, the plan would consist of accusing him of having violated the electoral law and proceeding to remove him from office so that Cepeda may occupy his position.
