On Tuesday, October 13, 2026, Colombian opposition figures and labor unions prepared for nationwide mobilizations against the conservative government of Abelardo de la Espriella. Representative Jennifer Pedraza announced plans to file a lawsuit before the Council of State targeting a decree issued by the de la Espriella administration that reforms the conduct of public security forces during public demonstrations.
The protests, scheduled for Wednesday across Bogotá and other Colombian cities, represent an early test of the new administration's response to public dissent. The demonstrations are organized by trade unions and opposition sectors expressing broad discontent with the government's policies, culminating in a legal challenge regarding the state's regulatory approach to protest management.
