The mayor of Cúcuta, Jorge Acevedo, decreed a curfew in the city on February 20, 2025, after a series of explosions and armed attacks that shook the region. The attacks, attributed to the National Liberation Army (ELN), left several injured and caused the destruction of a toll and an immediate police center (CAI) in Villa del Rosario. In addition, classes were suspended in the city as a preventive measure.

After the order given by the local president, the cucuteños were protected in their homes from the 7 on Thursday 20 until 6 am on Friday, February 21. In that same order, classes in the colleges of the capital of Nortesantandeana were suspended.
Hours after implementing these security measures, Mayor Acevedo was seen at the Shakira concert at the Barranquilla Metropolitan Stadium, where he was photographed along with that city, Alejandro Char. This appearance has generated criticism and controversy, since while Cúcuta faced a security crisis, his president was in a festive event in another city.

Incredible but true!
While Cúcuta faces a serious public order crisis, his mayor decided that it was more important to travel to Barranquilla to see Shakira in concert.
