Protesters in Colombia attack buses, police stations, Columbus statue

Bogota, June 29 (UNI/Sputnik) A wave of protests rocked eight cities across Colombia on Monday, as protesters attacked public and police transport, police departments, enterprises, and monuments, national police chief Jorge Luis Vargas Valencia said.
Since April 28, Colombia has been gripped by protests against tax hikes, which continued even after the authorities discarded the initiative. Labor and student organizations demand social and healthcare reforms, demilitarization of cities, and dissolution of Mobile Anti-Disturbance Squadron forces.
"The National Riot Police Force conducted 20 operations in various cities of Colombia during the day," Vargas said in a tweet about Monday's protests.
