The violent response of the government to heightened social mobilization has highlighted the persistence of police brutality and the lack of guarantees over the right to protest. Increasing citizen discontent has been manifested through massive protests. Simultaneously, the Duque administration’s efforts to alter the cornerstones of the peace deal and the president’s lack of commitment have hampered progress in its implementation.

On the one hand, the accord put an end to a government war with one of the oldest and largest left-wing guerrilla groups, thereby opening new avenues for significant changes in political participation, local development, and transitional justice.
