Colombia — 시위: 평화적 항의

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On March 30, 2025, approximately 5,500 protesters marched in Medellín, Colombia, from Avenida Oriental to the Public Enterprises of Medellín (EPM) building to demonstrate against President Gustavo Petro's government policies and recent remarks about companies in Antioquia department. The peaceful protest was classified as low severity and involved opposition congress members and Democratic Centre party officials.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. While the protest targeted EPM, a major regional utility company, the peaceful nature and lack of reported disruptions suggest minimal immediate impact on commercial operations or logistics flows through Colombia's second-largest city.

Watch points

• Monitor for any escalation in anti-government demonstrations that could affect operations at EPM or other major infrastructure in Antioquia department
• Track whether similar protests spread to other Colombian cities, particularly those with significant industrial or logistics infrastructure
