Bad Moon Rising...

2 years ago
I don't know if this is really from the Comité Paro Nacional but it's being passed around as such. I cannot verify it and I have my doubts. But if true, starting 31 May there will be more bloqueos in more cities, with no provision for any "humanitarian corridor".

So things could get worse before they get better. But it also looks like Duque has realized he must take some action to halt the leftists. Only time will tell.

Here's the missive:

Atencion debido que el Presidente Ivan Duque y los tiranos de los Congresistas se han hecho los de la vista gorda y votaron a favor del Ministro de Defensa para seguir atacando con armas a los jóvenes, y al comité de paro nacional se ha tomó la siguiente decisión:
A partir del lunes 31 de Mayo vamos a bloquear 1080 ciudades de toda Colombia, jóvenes, campesinos, indígenas y sindicatos, etc; sabemos que no hay ejército ni policía para cubrir todo el país, por lo tanto informamos que tenemos 72 horas para aprovisionarnos de alimentos no perecederos y lo que necesiten etc. Porque apartir de ese día se vendrá un bloqueo definitivo sin corredor humanitario hasta que esté gobierno corruptos entienda que con el pueblo no se juega y que ya estamos cansados de la violación de nuestros derechos
COMITE PARO NACIONAL.
