The De la Espriella government in Colombia is preparing a decree to modify Decree 003 of 2021, which concerns public demonstrations. The upcoming changes will allow intervention in protests without fully exhausting dialogue in specific instances. Additionally, the decree expands the functions of the PMU, or mobile restraint unit. This move signals a shift in how the Colombian government approaches managing public demonstrations and maintaining public order. Details released by La Silla Vacía suggest the new regulations aim to provide authorities with greater flexibility in responding to protests. The changes are expected to be met with scrutiny from human rights organizations and protest groups within Colombia. The decree is currently being finalized and prepared for official release.
