Duque announces "maximum military deployment" in Cali and Valle | Video

«Today in the city of Cali, we have seen painful events. Armed people shooting. A cruel and painful testimony of the shooting of a citizen to a group of people and of people attacking other citizens. We have seen expressions of vandalism and we have also seen acts against public infrastructure. Faced with this situation and I understand the clamor of the citizens, we are once again here in the city of Cali to tell the authorities of the department and the city, but above all to the citizens, that we are going to act in defense of all rights and with the capacity that the Constitution and the law give us. Therefore, I want to make it absolutely clear that as of tonight the maximum deployment of military assistance to the National Police begins in the city of Cali and in the department of Valle.(…) I want to make it clear that this deployment will almost triple our capacity in less than 24 hours throughout the department ", was the announcement made by the president of Colombia Iván Duque when he arrived in the city of Cali at the end of a day more of the protests that are already a month old.
