Carrascal maintained that she would not remain silent or allow herself to be intimidated. She added that she was accountable to the citizens who elected her and that she had not taken office to be a spectator of injustices. She said that she would not back down in defending the rights and dignity of the people. #DerechosHumanos #JusticiaSocial #ProtestaPacífica (translated)

Fonseca stated that a peaceful protest alone would not achieve change. He argued that democracy involved convincing others and accepting that sometimes it was not achieved, not imposing one's own will by being willing to resort to violence before others. #Democracia #ProtestaPacífica #CambioSocial (translated)

Jordi Machiavelli mocked the call to demonstrate calmly and stated that protesters should avoid damaging property and accept cuts to services and aggression, even deadly ones, without responding.

Paola Holguín stated that over the weekend a protest was called in front of the National Museum by people who, according to her, had used culture to reinterpret history, justify crimes, and re-victimize the victims. She asserted that some protesters arrived masked and resorted to unlawful actions, while others brought minors and used them as shields. Holguín said that the National Police fulfilled their role of ensuring a peaceful protest and preventing harm to citizens and heritage. She also indicated that she would seek for the museum to preserve, restore, protect, and disseminate a culture representative of the entire nation, and reiterated the need to review the museography, museology, and curatorship of that and other museums managed by the Government. Moreover, she reaffirmed her commitment to the rights of victims to truth, justice, reparations, and non-repetition. She added that preserving the memory of the country, including its tragedies and achievements, required efforts from society and authorities, and firmness in the face of acts that, in her opinion, dishonored the affected individuals. #Cultura #DerechosHumanos #ProtestaPacífica (translated)

Mafe Carrascal Rojas stated that she would continue on the streets defending citizens' rights and would show her credentials, as she believed her duty as a member of the Chamber was to represent the people and not remain in an office. She said she prioritized dialogue, but that did not mean remaining silent in the face of abuses or failing to demand explanations for reports of disproportionate actions by the Public Force against protesters. Carrascal maintained that she would defend the right of young people to express themselves and protest, and that she would not abandon those exercising those rights. She also noted that fulfilling the authorities' duty meant protecting rights and acting within the bounds of the Constitution and the law, not using weapons against the population. The representative affirmed that she would continue to raise her voice and questioned recent attempts to portray all mobilizations as violent. She added that one should not generalize or stigmatize those who protested peacefully, that no decree could supersede the Constitution, and that any possible abuse by the authorities should be investigated. She argued that social protest was not a crime and that defending that right was part of her responsibility. #DerechosHumanos #ProtestaPacífica #LibertadesCivil (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro questioned the announced guarantees for peaceful protest and stated that the decree on social mobilization served as a pretext to exercise arbitrary violence against peaceful gatherings. He maintained that the Government sought to silence the population, but that the large and peaceful demonstrations the day before marked the beginning of a general mobilization against the Government and its policies. He also warned Abelardo de la Espriella that he should prepare himself. #ProtestaPacífica #DerechosHumanos #LibertadDeExpresión (translated)

David Rozo stated that police with rifles were intimidating protesters from the heights of Plaza de Bolívar who, he wrote, were expressing themselves peacefully.

Jennifer Pedraza Sandoval asked what the public force was doing with rifles in the streets and on the roofs of Congress while people were protesting, and who had ordered the deployment and with what justification. She said that Abelardo should respond and described it as very serious that those exercising their right to protest encountered armed men. She also maintained that peaceful protest should not be treated like a war and that a democratic government could not respond with armed intimidation to its citizens. #ProtestaPacífica #DerechosHumanos #Democracia (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro announced that he would participate in a peaceful mobilization against Abelardo de la Espriella and his government that day. He claimed that the government had issued decree 1525 of 2026 the day before as part of a strategy of intimidation and with the purpose of repressing social protest. According to Cepeda, the protocol had not been consulted with the public or with social organizations, unlike the one, he said, that was in effect during the government of the Historical Pact led by Gustavo Petro. Cepeda argued that De la Espriella's protocol expanded the use of force, restricted police dialogue, and could facilitate the criminalization of those participating in peaceful mobilizations. He recalled that, between 2019 and 2021, the intervention of ESMAD had left young people injured and killed. He also stated that during Petro's four years in government, dialogue and the guarantee of protest prevailed, and that there were no young people killed by police gunfire, false positives, or eye injuries caused by gas canisters. The senator accused De la Espriella of wanting to return to past practices and said that the mobilization would be massive and determined. He added that they would not allow what he described as the arbitrariness of an authoritarian regime, nor, as he expressed, would they allow De la Espriella to destroy rights, democracy, and life. #ProtestaPacífica #DerechosHumanos #MovilizaciónSocial (translated)

Iván Cepeda Castro stated that social protest was a right and that no government should expect the population to remain silent in the face of decisions that, as he wrote, seriously affected their rights. He announced that on October 14, they would peacefully take to the streets and affirmed that it was the government’s responsibility to guarantee that right, not to repress those who exercised it. He added that they would respond to any attempt at intimidation with more democracy, peaceful mobilization, and defense of life. #ProtestaPacífica #DerechosHumanos #Democracia (translated)

Daniel F. Briceño stated that the left was lying by saying that Abelardo de la Espriella and Rodrigo Lara wanted to end the right to protest through the draft decree that updated the intervention protocol. As he wrote, the proposal aimed to protect peaceful protest and the rights of citizens, as well as to establish clear rules for applying dialogue. #ProtestaPacífica #DerechosHumanos #DiálogoSocial (translated)

Enough with guerrilla takeovers disguised as "social explosion"! Attacking police, throwing explosives, and destroying businesses cannot continue to be justified by the right to protest. The government's draft decree is necessary. The rights of other Colombians also matter. Authority exists to protect them, not to watch how they disrupt their daily lives. #Colombia #DerechosHumanos #ProtestaPacífica (translated)

Si un gobierno, por acción u omisión (control de fronteras, gestión de flujos, uso de espacios públicos, tiempos de respuesta), coloca a una población concreta ante una situación de saturación de servicios, inseguridad o alteración grave de la convivencia, resulta poco coherente que después trate las protestas, las concentraciones o las demandas de los afectados como si fueran el origen del conflicto y no su consecuencia. El derecho de reunión y manifestación es lícito. Criticar su ejercicio cuando uno ha contribuido a crear las condiciones que lo motivan suena a eludir responsabilidades. #DerechosHumanos #LibertadDeExpresión #ProtestaPacifica

Les dije que no disparen sus armas contra el pueblo porque serán malditos, oomo dijo Bolívar. Quien les dijo que hay que reprimir un protesta por agua, si el agua es un derecho y la policía debe proteger es los derechos de la gente y no ir contra sus derechos,? ¿Cómo se le ocurre al alcalde de Bello pegarle a la gente porque quierén agua? #DerechosHumanos #AguaParaTodos #ProtestaPacifica

Casi 550 personas fueron arrestadas durante una manifestación en Ginebra en contra del G7, que se tornó violenta, provocando enfrentamientos entre manifestantes y la policía, y generando críticas a la intervención policial por parte de los organizadores. #ManifiestoG7 #Ginebra #ProtestaPacífica

La critica e il dissenso pacifico sono diritti garantiti dall'Articolo 21 della Costituzione. Quella del #TifoOrganizzato della #Lazio è una #protesta trasparente, basata su scelte libere dei #tifosi, che scelgono se aderire o meno al #comunicato. Esprimere opinioni e proporre il #boicottaggio economico/politico rientra nel legittimo diritto di critica. 30/40/50 mila tifosi sono criminali? La gente è stufa e la giostra, senza la gente, non gira. #LibertàDiEspressione #DirittoDiCritica #ProtestaPacifica
