Colombians hold 2nd national anti-gov't strike in Bogota amid carnival atmosphere BBogota (Colombia), Nov 27 (EFE).- With drummers, circus acts and Carnival rhythms, demonstrators gathered once again in Bogota for the second "national strike" called in less than a week to protest the social and economic policy of Colombian President Ivan Duque. Seventh Avenue, one of the capital's main thoroughfares, was the site where thousands of people congregated amid a festive atmosphere to express their disagreement with what they call the "big package" of measures the government wants to implement. The march was headed by a group of young people, all dressed in black with blue and yellow handkerchiefs around their necks, who - beating drums and dancing - moved along the street to a "batucada" or samba-like beat.
