CORAZON DEL SOL, 06.08.21:
“At the beginning of the National strike, the Misak came early in morning to Cali and in a very simple and symbolic act, tore down the statue of Sebastián Belacázar in Cali. This person colonized the Valley of Cauca (Cali) and Cauca (Popayan), which is why we have his statue in both places. It was as if the Misak had embarked on a route of colonial liberation. Leaving from Cauca and arriving in the Valley of Cauca, beginning the national strike with this magical symbolic act. With this act a veil is lifted and we begin to ask... how could we live with this?”
