Abstract

DUQUE, Iván Olano. Democracy in the streets and the State's response. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.45, pp.319-331.  Epub Sep 02, 2022. ISSN 0124-5996.  https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v23n45.16.

The National Strike demonstrates that the old order retains its fragile and unhinged control of the State and the institutions, but in the collective imagination it is already completely defeated. In the streets the voices are getting louder, more conscious, more determined. Not only those of the established social movements, but also those of the marginalized youth who today say "we are people and we are in resistance". This is the key to the future.

Keywords : Colombia, national strike, systematic repression, inequality, democracy; JEL: J15, J38, J48, J52J82.
