Thousands flooded Colombia's streets this week to back President Gustavo Petro's ambitious healthcare and labor reforms, turning March 18 into a vibrant “Civic Day.” 🌍 The president urged workers to speak up, calling the reforms a “path to equity”—but the proposals face fierce pushback from lawmakers.
📢 Chants echoed across cities as crowds waved banners demanding affordable medical care and fair wages. Petro framed the day as a grassroots movement, tweeting, “The people are the force driving change.” Yet critics argue the plans could strain Colombia's economy, setting the stage for a high-stakes political showdown. 🏛️
With Congress divided, Petro’s supporters hope street momentum will tip the scales. Whether the reforms pass or stall, one thing’s clear: Colombians are making their voices heard. 💥
