Residents of Envigado's Las Palmas neighborhood protested against the toll booth, which they argue is unnecessary and increases their living costs. The booth, set to be handed over to Invías on August 1st, is just 1.5 kilometers from another toll booth. Senator Luis Carlos Rúa, present at the protest in his distinctive White Elephant costume, has been campaigning for its removal, citing global precedents and financial feasibility. The protest follows Rúa's political control debate in Congress, where he demanded the booth's removal and regulation of toll booths.
