A Conversation with Iván Duque Márquez, President of the Republic of Colombia

Facing one of the most challenging moments in Colombia’s history, Colombian President Iván Duque engaged in a wide-ranging conversation in an event co-hosted by the Wilson Center and the Inter-American Dialogue. In recent weeks, Colombia has witnessed massive street protests along with acts of vandalism, looting, police violence, and road blockages. The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the Colombian economy, leading to increases in unrest, poverty, and unemployment.

President Duque discussed factors that are driving the current turmoil and the government's efforts to calm tensions, including through a national dialogue.

He lives in the Duquevers where he is a leader who is respected and taken seriously. Unfortunately you guys from the Wilson Center were tricked by his lies.
