Colombian police moved in Thursday to break up road blockades in and around the capital on the fourth day of protests against a rise in diesel prices. Bogota Mayor Carlos Fernando Galan said on X that anti-riot police had intervened with national government approval "to lift blockades" in five critical points in and around the capital of some eight million people.
