Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks for coming, Your Excellency.
I want to talk a bit about what's happened in the last month with regard to trade unions in Colombia. Carmen Carvajal, from an association of teachers, was murdered in Ocaña. Leonidas Gómez, from the national bank union, disappeared and was subsequently found dead in his apartment. Gildardo Alzate was murdered by a sharp weapon in the entraceway of his residence. He was from a centre for teacher research. Carlos Burbano was killed as well. He was from the national association of hospitals. Most recently, Adolfo Montes was murdered in his hometown, in his house.
The point I'm trying to make is that this is the recent past from just this last month. Those individuals represented unions that are seen as being much more from civil society than just the labour movement.
What is your response to the fact that even the leadership of civil society labour unions are not safe in Colombia?
