Bogotá. Decenas de miles de personas protestaron este sábado en Colombia, por cuarto día consecutivo, para exigir el retiro de una reforma tributaria, en medio de múltiples denuncias sobre abusos policiales cometidos contra manifestantes.

Pese a que el presidente de Colombia, Iván Duque, anunció que reformulará la iniciativa y eliminará las cláusulas más polémicas, su mensaje no calmó los ardores de los manifestantes convocados por el Comité Nacional de Paro.
