Amerisur, Colombia21 Nov 2019 17:32
I am a stale Amerisur bull currently living in Colombia. There is a General Strike here today. we live in Cali [population 2.8mn so not small but not well known], streets around us deserted. Police helicopter doing the rounds. Bakery opposite working but little else. Pres Duque popularity 26% from 60%, said to be fearing a coup. I see Macron's rating earlier in November was 28%, so Duque not alone! Main trigger for dispute is raising pension age which is eminently sensible and many other countries are doing the same. But various groups including indigenous communities are joining in. A rather handsome left wing Lesbian lady has been elected as the next mayor of Bogota. She won;t make life easier for the current government.
None of this should have an immediate direct bearing on Amerisur but if the situation deteriorated then it will.
I felt it was worth posting this amongst your concerns about the seemingly undervalued bid.
