The government of Abelardo reported that 98% of recent demonstrations were peaceful. This announcement came alongside news of planned changes to the process of prior consultation – a mechanism for engaging with communities before implementing projects that may affect them. Furthermore, Ana Lucía Pineda, the First Lady, publicly committed to being accountable for her actions. The report, originally published on *La Silla Vacía*, details these developments following a period of significant public mobilization. The Abelardo administration appears to be responding to the wave of protests by prioritizing transparency and improved dialogue. This commitment to accountability from the First Lady is a notable development. The changes to prior consultation are expected to be detailed further in the coming weeks.
