“We believe that it is time to call for new marches because the Government cannot start destroying what has been built. The great problem of President Petro and his government is that they consider that all those who have existed before him have not wanted to do anything and everything they have done is wrong and that prevents them from recognizing the great advances that Colombia has made in many areas in especially in health,” he said.
According to Paloma Valencia, Colombia is among the first places in Latin America in terms of the functioning of the health system, despite the fact that other countries have budgets that double and even triple the Colombian budget.
“We have to invite the Government to stop destroying, to build on what has been built, but above all to respect the collective efforts that Colombia has had, they cannot continue to be considered Christopher Columbus and That is why we are calling for marches by all citizens on April 22, in order to demand respect from the Government for what this country has been building. There is a long way to go, but that is done by building and not destroying what already exists,” he said.
