A series of protests occurred in Colombia on 21 April 2024 against the administration of president Gustavo Petro.[1] Motivations for the protests were diverse, such as concerns about low morale among the public force, as well as opposition to several Petro-led reforms,[2] as well as to his proposal for the creation of a constitutional assembly.[3] Assistants to the protests included members of the opposition,[2] as well as former Petro supporters and healthcare workers.[1] Much of the opposition is due to the governments move to a public-funded healthcare system and moving away from privatized healthcare.[4]
