Blockades in Santander are lifted, but the strike continues: everything depends on the meeting with the IGAC
The strike against the cadastral appraisal in Santander remains in effect, although in the last few hours the protesters decided to temporarily lift the blockades on the main roads of the department.
TL;DR
- Protesters in Santander have temporarily lifted road blockades against cadastral appraisals.
- The blockades were lifted to allow for a crucial meeting with the Agustín Codazzi Geographic Institute (IGAC) in Bogotá.
- Governor Juvenal Díaz Mateus will attend the national meeting as a guarantor and spokesperson.
- The core issue is the significant increase in cadastral valuations, which protesters argue will lead to unaffordable tax increases.
- If the dialogue fails, protesters have warned they will resume road closures.
