City officials estimated that about 70,000 people marched in the capital Bogota, chanting “down with Petro“ Tens of thousands of Colombians marched to protest economic and social reforms proposed by the leftist government of President Gustavo Petro. The reforms, which Petro says will tackle deep inequality but which opponents say will hurt the country’s already struggling economy, were key campaign promises of the 64-year-old leader, who takes office in 2022.
