Bogota, May 3 (EFE).- Taxi and truck drivers blocked traffic with their vehicles on Monday in a sixth consecutive day of sometimes violent protests against the Colombian government's economic policies.The protests, which as of Sunday had left between 16 and 21 dead, depending on the source, continued even though conservative President Ivan Duque announced that day that he would be scrapping plans to introduce a tax overhaul bill to Congress.Taxi drivers carrying Colombian flags halted traffic on some Bogota avenues to show their opposition to a proposal to legalize mobile-app based passenger transport, an initiative that Congress has already rejected.
