Colombia

In Colombia, Iván Zepeda, the presidential candidate considered the political successor of President Gustavo Petro, reiterated accusations regarding the presence of armed groups in Colombian territories, seeking to influence citizens' votes less than two weeks before the presidential elections. 

Zepeda, who is leading the polls, stated that those responsible must be investigated and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Bolivia

In Bolivia, neighborhood councils, social organizations, transport workers, merchants, and the general population were called to mobilize today against the policies of right-wing, neoliberal President Rodrigo Paz and once again demand his resignation. 

The mobilization is expected to remain peaceful, and organizers affirmed that the unity of the people is a force that will defend the rights of Bolivians and the future of the country. 

Argentina

And also for this Wednesday, a march has been called in Argentina, under the slogan Health Cannot Wait, with the participation from health care workers, social organizations, and labor unions.

The protest is aimed at defending public health care, which organizers said is seriously threatened by the budget cuts implemented by the far-right, pro-United States, President Javier Milei.
