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.

Cali, May 13 (EFE).- Cali, a Colombian city of 2.2 million and the cockpit of chaos, appeared calm on Thursday, following a series of sometimes violent demonstrations that have been going on for two weeks.The Government of Colombia has showed signs to give in to some of the demands to appease the social discontent in the country and insists on inviting the organizers of the strike to a dialogue table. These demonstations began due to a now-cancelled tax reform. They later morphed into national strikes to protest the policies of President Ivan Duque, calling for an end to some of them and demanding effective action to halt police brutality.
