Colombia's Duque seeks to calm protest as grievances fester
Colombian President Ivan Duque has met with political opponents and expressed more optimism than his critics about progress made towards calming more than a week of widespread and sometimes deadly street protests.
"We had a productive meeting with the coalition of hope, a great opportunity for dialogue, overcoming differences and without political point-scoring," Duque wrote on social media on Friday, referring to the group of politicians.
