The so-called 'National Table for Freedom', a group of social organizations and regional leaders, has promoted the protests that have been attended by thousands of citizens, according to the Colombian National Radio.

The platform has demanded the withdrawal of all the reforms of the Petro executive without their being discussed in Congress, since they consider that the Chamber has become the enemy of the population, according to what one of its spokespersons has declared to the newspaper 'El tiempo '.

The protesters have also demanded the resignation of the Minister of Mines and Energy, Irene Vélez, and that the Ministry of Equality not be created.
