Duque welcomed by May and protesters in London
by Adriaan Alsema June 17, 2019
Colombia’s President Ivan Duque met with British Prime Minister Theresa May on Monday after being confronted by fierce protests over ongoing violence in his home country.
A few dozen protesters shouted “murderer” at Duque while he was on his way to 10 Downing Street for his 20-minute meeting with Britain’s outgoing PM.
At the end of the meeting, Duque told press that May had expressed her support for the reintegration of FARC guerrillas who demobilized and disarmed in 2017 as part of a peace process.
The president did not address concerns about his government’s failures to comply with the peace deal his far-right Democratic Center party fiercely opposes.
