2019-11-21 | Colombia protesters hope to channel wave of discontent - Los Angeles Times

'Student groups accuse the government of not fully complying with an agreement to boost education funding after a swell of protests last year. '

'Labor unions, student groups and ordinary citizens began gathering for what could be one of the nation’s biggest demonstrations in recent years, testing an unpopular government as unrest grips the region. '

'Colombians angry with conservative President Iván Duque hoped to channel Latin America’s wave of discontent as they took to the streets Thursday with a long list of grievances, led by persistent economic inequality and rampant violence against social activists. '

'Duque’s key ally, former President Álvaro Uribe, is under investigation for alleged witness tampering. '

'Duque has increased the education budget to what he says is the highest level in Colombia’s history, while student activists contend science funding is still lacking. '
