This footage was filmed and produced 5 May 2021.

The protests began after Colombia's government proposed a tax plan aimed at raising $6.7 billion US to pay the country's debts and maintain a basic income scheme for three million low-income people that started during the pandemic. Protesters marched in a national strike against the government proposal on Wednesday. In Bogota, they held balloons and signs that read "no to tax reform" in Spanish.

According to Colombia's Human Rights Ombudsman, 16 protesters and one policeman have been killed in the demonstrations since last Wednesday. But that figure doesn't include reports of deaths in Cali on Monday, which the UN said it is still trying to confirm.
