US VP @JDVance today on 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 buffer zone law. Completely misrepresenting the facts, with the aim of interfering with law that was democratically passed in our parliament

This is a man that has previously said that he wants a national abortion ban in the 🇺🇸

Horrific.

Teacher trade unionist Jorge Cano Jaramillo of the @AdidaSindicato union - affiliated to @fecode federation - was murdered on Fri 7 Feb while on his way to work in Antioquia.

Teachers still face violence in Colombia, with at least 6 FECODE affiliates killed in 2024.
