Colombian politicians have voted to not back health care reforms after four weeks of violent demonstrations.
But anti-government protesters still took to the streets again on Wednesday to demand social change, better security and more economic support in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The protests started last month after President Ivan Duque introduced a tax reform which he was forced to withdraw after furious demonstrations against it.
Al Jazeera’s Alessandro Rampietti reports Bogota, Colombia.
