Estallido social, Covid-19 y educación:: el caso del país que le tiene más miedo a un gobierno opresor que a un virus mortal

Abstract

This essay is a reflection of a student of a Colombian public university, which presents an analysis of what happened on the national strike, as well as the last 3 years in politics. The Colombian national strike has been the object of multiple responses, controversies, appeals and comparisons. Although this succession of demonstrations has shaken the country and has attracted foreigners, there is a tendency to take the idea that this started only in 2019 but, in reality, it comes from many more years ago. Although the social and political problem may be two hundred years old, the reality is that this social outburst has to do with the last three, where the political organization has eclipsed the social and economic organizations. It is for this reason, then, that Colombian citizens have embarked on the journey of transformation, in the expectation of being able to achieve it. It is also recognized that these reflections are not in line with any political party, but only meditations of the author.
