• Members associated with Centro Democratico political party will hold a National Day of Mobilization nationwide on March 6.   
• The demonstrations are being held to protest new healthcare, labor, tax, and pension policies, as well as other social reforms proposed under the President Gustavo Petro-led government. 
• Details on the planned demonstrations are as follows: 

1. Based on similar protests against Petro’s reforms, including a February 8 protest by workers’ unions, the slated demonstrations are likely to witness turnouts in the mid-to-high hundreds, with a higher attendance expected in Bogota, in the mid-to-high thousands. 
2. Protests in Armenia, Bucaramanga, Cartagena, Manizales, Neiva, Santa Marta, Sincelejo, Tunja, and Villavicencio will likely witness turnouts ranging from the high dozens-to-low hundreds. 
3. Based on precedent, the protests are expected to transpire largely peacefully, without any instances of unrest. Regardless, authorities are expected to bolster security in the vicinity of the aforementioned protest locations, especially near the Plaza de Bolivar in Bogota, to monitor proceedings and regulate traffic.  
4. Additionally, significant disruptions to pedestrian and vehicular traffic can be expected in the vicinity of all protest locations during the slated timings. 

Those operating or residing in the aforementioned cities in Colombia on March 6 are advised to allot for disruptions to travel in the vicinity of the protest locations.
