Cali, Jun 1 (EFE).- The self-proclaimed National Strike Committee (CNP) said Tuesday that some of the blockades mounted to put pressure on Colombia's right-wing government since the start of a popular mobilization on April 28 are being dismantled as a goodwill gesture to advance dialogue.Yet some of the people on the front lines of the blockades reject the CNP's claim to speak for them and appear disinclined to go along with the proclaimed "de-escalation.""There are more than 40 'points of resistance' that have been suspended thanks to the de-escalation," the leader of the Fecode teachers union, Nelson Alarcon, said. "Today, therefore, the national government has no excuse to say that it won't sign accords."
