Through a symbolic burial, residents of Ciudad Jardín staged a protest to draw attention to insecurity in the city.
For this they created a small cemetery in which they lamented the ‘burial’ of tranquility, security and justice, which according to the protesters must be recovered.
Everything was accompanied with candles and white flowers.

“We want to tell the Mayor that Cali needs security. We want to tell the judicial system that Cali needs the rules to be followed and to do their job because we cannot continue as we are”, expressed Martha Atehortúa, spokeswoman for the demonstration.
He also lamented the situation that the city is experiencing, which he considers a “go back in time”, which is why he asks the authorities to act more firmly.
Atehortúa stressed that the demonstration not only included residents of Ciudad Jardín, but also of Pance and surrounding areas.
“We want Cali to get ahead but putting order, prevailing the values and rights of the community so that we can continue to get the best out of Cali and ourselves,” he added.

Also present at the demonstration was the candidate for Congress, Gustavo Orozco, who called on the mayor of Cali, Jorge Iván Ospina, to “support the right of citizens to be calm and to have security.”
He demanded of the judicial system “that there be no impunity, specifically for people who destroy, frighten and commit crimes… that they pay. We need, among other things, that the people who participated in the destruction of Cali from the front line be condemned.”
