At least 6 killed, more than 300 injured in Colombia tax protests

After calls from major labor unions, including the Workers Central Union (Central Unitaria de Trabajadores, CUT), thousands of Colombians took to the streets to protest against a government tax reform proposal.

The protesters denounced the tax reform bill proposed by President Ivan Duque's administration and criticized the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many Colombians believe that the tax reform will leave them poorer in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. (ILKHA)
