Provincia de Bogotá

Abstract

The image contains news about the situation of the provincial legislatures in Colombia, specifically in Bogotá and Zipaquirá. In Bogotá, the legislative process is progressing normally, with a draft provincial Constitution having been presented. However, the financial situation of the province is critical, to the point that there is no food even for the prisoners. In Zipaquirá, the situation is even more serious: provincial deputies have been subjected to insults, threats and coercion by a violent mob. Due to this situation, the majority of deputies have been forced to leave the province and seek refuge in the capital. The text criticizes the inaction of the governor and the political leader in the face of these events and accuses them of complicity.
