President promised tax cuts. He not only cancelled the tax cuts, but ADDED more taxes. People weren't happy. Police started shooting people in the crowd, and using APCs, HMMWVs, and tanks to shoot into people's homes...
"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
Holy shit. That puts any violence that we saw in 2020 to shame!
You would think BLM and Antifa would be on the next plane to get down there and protest the killing of BIPOCS by the police?
One could only wish... But, they aren't stupid and know full well that socialist countries don't hold back beating the shit outta you before ending your life. Why they want the U.S. to be one is dumbfounding.

Off title they essentially are... They are a unitary state which is a state governed as a single entity in which the central government is ultimately supreme over all.
Another example of a unitary state is France. Socialist policies too.

Article says their President tried to get a huge tax passed to make up for the loss of revenue due to the Shamdemic.
Tax bill failed and their Pres. abandoned the effort. Didn't matter.
"The end of the tax controversy did not stop nationwide protests, however, which turned violent when radical leftists organized on Saturday, a Marxist holiday known as International Workers’ Day. Far-left unions and syndicalist groups have insisted on continuing the “national strike” despite no longer having a political goal or concrete objective. The calls for more protest have resulted in roving mobs attacking police stations, public transit stops, hotels, banks, and civilian residential property in the capital as well as large cities like Cali, Medellín, Barranquilla, and Cartagena."

from the looks of it both sides have a share of the blame here. Authoritarian government that has for years suppressed pent up fury at the government (And some of it rightly so.) And a but of rioters not willing to just protest but attack.
Considering they are randomly shooting into buildings does not make you think that the government is fully in control of its forces and just asking for more trouble.
