In a harsh message transmitted from his social networks, President Alberto Fernández urged the Colombian government of Iván Duque to
"cease the singular institutional violence."
The Argentine president thus alluded to the social protests that have occurred in Colombia since last April 28, which have been repressed and left
homicides, disappearances and injuries as a result.
"With concern, I observe
the repression
unleashed in the face of the social protests that occurred in
Colombia
. I pray that the Colombian people regain social peace and I urge their government to, in safeguarding
human rights
, cease the unique institutional violence that has been exercised", Fernandez tweeted.
