Cati Restrepo

Through the Facebook group “Operation Seventh Ballot” [es], citizens are inviting voters to deposit a paper in the ballot box with the words “NO TO THE REFORM OF LAW 30″ in reference to the education reform launched by the national government. This initiative, which will be carried out during the October 30 regional elections, recalls a similar initiative from March 11, 1990 when citizens demanded the creation of an Assembly to reform the constitution [es].
