    The Colombian government, under President Abelardo de la Espriella, ordered the removal of dozens of artworks from the National Museum of Bogotá that focus on feminism, sexual diversity, and the peace process with the FARC. This move, part of an initiative against 'wokeism' and inclusive language, has sparked significant criticism and protests. Over 500 people gathered outside the museum to oppose the decision, which they view as censorship and an attack on the country's historical memory. Six cultural institutions have also expressed concern about the government's action.
