Bogota/Medellin, May 30 (EFE).- Thousands of people joined marches in Bogota and Medellin to reject and call for the end of the 'National Strike' and the violence that arises from the demonstrations against the Colombian Government. Although the National Strike and its mobilizations are welcomed en masse by thousands of people in Colombia, a sector of society protests, claiming that due to the strike, commerce, supplies, the economy and their security have been affected.
