​Campesinos in Colombia are mobilizing throughout the country, especially in Bogota, demanding the government fulfill promises made after the 2013 massive protests.

Rural social movements from Aug. 30 to Sept. 5 at the Agrarian, Peasant, Ethnical and Popular Summit will be publicly evaluating the process of negotiations initiated with the state after the 2013 and 2014 massive demonstrations.

“We still feel outraged, because we consider that the unfulfilled agreements, the regressive policies, the restricted democracy, the stigmatization and discrimination of our struggles and achievements, the political persecution from the part of the state represent unfair and offensive actions against the hope for peace and social justice that the Colombian people aspire to,” said the movements in a statement.

According to the organizing movements, less than 70 percent of the over 200 agreements reached with the government since 2013 have been executed. Worse, the government implemented new policies that contradicted such agreements.
