Indigenous Minga announced they will participate in the protests against Abelardo de la Espriella in Cali: “The entry of the chivas (colorful, open-sided buses) is being coordinated.”

The indigenous Minga movement has announced its arrival in Cali on Friday, August 7, to participate in protests directed against Abelardo de la Espriella. The group plans to coordinate the entry of their traditional vehicles, known as chivas, to join a concentration of demonstrators at Puerto Resistencia. This mobilization coincides with a period of political transition and heightened public activity in the city.

Simultaneously, local authorities, led by Mayor Alejandro Eder, have reported acts of vandalism involving graffiti on public spaces recently restored as part of an urban beautification project. These incidents have drawn criticism from political figures, including representatives of the Pacto Histórico, amid the broader context of upcoming presidential transition events.
