[Colombia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 31, 2025, hundreds of teachers affiliated with FECODE conducted a peaceful march in Cucuta, Norte de Santander, demanding improved labor conditions including job formalization and salary increases. The protest appears to be part of routine labor advocacy with low immediate severity.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and limited scope of the teacher demonstration, immediate supply chain disruption appears minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation to broader public sector strikes that could affect regional government services
• Track whether protests spread to other municipalities in Norte de Santander or neighboring departments
