Colombian President Gustavo Petro introduced Friday that he’ll declare July 15 a civic day within the nation, at some point after Colombia and Argentina play the Copa America last.
The measure, which often suspends work actions for state entities, will apply whether or not the Colombian workforce wins or loses the ultimate.
“Let today be for unity. We’re approaching July 20 — Colombia’s independence day — and the Colombian nationwide workforce is a logo of unity, not of violence, not of polarization,” Petro stated from New York, the place he spoke the day earlier than on the United Nations Safety Council.
Colombia, led by Argentine Néstor Lorenzo, received 1-0 in opposition to Uruguay on Wednesday within the Copa América semifinals.
1000’s are anticipated to attend in Colombia’s most important cities on big screens accessible for the general public.
With this announcement, Petro joins some native leaders who had already introduced that they’d declare Monday a civic day for his or her entities.
The federal government has not issued a decree detailing the restrictions and schedules for a civic day.
