COLOMBIA NATIONAL STRIKE 



We protest against recent state killings started off in a passionate yet peaceful manner.


What provoked these protests was yet another tax reform from the extreme right-wing government of Iván Duque, the third of his government

The three tax reforms of the Duque administration (2018–2022) have one common denominator: benefits for the large companies and a greater tax burden for 80 percent of the population, which is poor and vulnerable, through a mechanism that squeezes from both sides: on one hand, higher taxes on their personal income, and on the other hand taxes on their consumption of basic foodstuff.

Colombia’s specialized riot squad attacked the demonstration, as it did in other parts of the country. The anger of the population was so great, though, that people did not bow down and rioting broke out practically everywhere. The police attacked the demonstrations with the usual weapons — tear gas, stun grenades, and batons. They also entered poor neighborhoods, firing not only their personal sidearms, which most police carry on them at all times, but also specially issued assault rifles. The results have not been surprising, and echo previous stoppages.

CONDITIONALS What are conditionals in English grammar? Sometimes we call them  'if clauses' . They describe the result of something that might happen (in the present or future) or might have happened but didn't (in the past) . They are made using different English verb tenses. Conditional sentences  have TWO clauses. 1. C onditional clause: (sometimes called an  if - clause ). The  conditional clause  usually begins with  if   or unless. The  conditional clause can  come before or after the main  clause .   We 'll be late  if we  don't leave now. but if it comes at the beginning the clauses have to be separated by a comma( , ).
