[Colombia] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

On April 2, 2025, approximately 100 demonstrators blocked Ruta Nacional 45 at the Puente Sevilla sector near San Jose de Kennedy in Colombia's Magdalena department, protesting judicial actions by DICAR company. The protest severity is assessed as low with no major news coverage bundle available.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether the road blockade disrupts regional freight movements along Ruta Nacional 45.

Watch points

• Monitor for expanded protest activity or prolonged road closures that could affect regional transport corridors
• Track whether judicial proceedings against DICAR company generate additional demonstrations at other locations
