Chaos in Colombia due to transport blockades

▲ Bogotá experienced a chaotic day of traffic yesterday due to transporters blocking the main roads in the capital and other cities in Colombia, in protest against the rise in the price of diesel. Hundreds of vehicles parked from early morning on 18 roads in the capital caused huge traffic jams, according to data from the mayor’s office. Last Saturday, the administration of President Gustavo Petro increased the price of fuel by the equivalent of 46 cents. In the image, a family tries to get to the airport.Afp Photo
