Robinson López, former president of ACIMVIP, demands high-level dialogue from the Government with the Minga of the Indigenous Peoples of Putumayo

Statement by Robinson López, identified in an on-screen caption as Human Rights and Peace coordinator of OPIAC, in support of the resistance minga of the Indigenous Peoples of Putumayo. He speaks to the camera outdoors, surrounded by members of the Indigenous guard carrying flags and staffs of authority, and demands the presence of high-level officials of the national Government to hold a dialogue from authority to authority. He states that the Indigenous Peoples submitted an eleven-point list of demands and asks the President of the Republic to appoint a high-level commission to address it. The piece is informative in nature, opens and closes with the OPIAC logo, and ends with the chants of the Indigenous guard. We invite you to watch the full video on its original channel.
