🗣️ “We don't want to go back to the dark times in Colombia where trade unionists were killed.”
🎥 ITUC General Secretary Luc Triangle delivers a powerful message from Bogotá, where the ITUC and Global Unions joined a solidarity mission to defend workers’ rights, trade union freedoms and democracy.
⚠️ Amid growing concerns over threats to trade unionists, violence and labour law reforms, the global trade union movement is standing firmly alongside Colombian workers.
🌍🤝 “Everywhere workers can count on the trade union solidarity. Together we are strong.” — @luc_triangle
✊ Our solidarity knows no borders. Colombian workers are not alone! #FightForDemocracy

To mark 10 years of Colombia's peace agreement, JFC was joined in the British parliament last night by former president @JuanManSantos, whose govt signed the deal with the FARC guerrillas in 2016.
The packed out event showed that peace in Colombia remains an urgent issue.
Santos praised international contributions to peacebuilding and criticised the current govt over its brazen attempts to block core elements of the agreement.
Diego Martinez @MCastAbogados highlighted the immense commitment of former guerrillas to peace, despite high levels of violence they continue to face.
JFC vice-chair @MarielaInt paid tribute to the British and Irish politicians and trade unionists who supported peace talks.
Thanks to chair @FabianLeedsNE, event co-organisers @ABColombia, @HumanRightsAPPG, @BGIPU, APPG Latin America, everyone who came and the other speakers.
With peace again under threat in Colombia, the international community must keep demanding full implementation and support communities, activists and former guerrillas working on the ground to build a conflict-free society 🇨🇴 🕊️

Solidarity! Trade unionists belong round the negotiating table with governments and busineses, not in prison.
UNISON joined the TUC to protest outside the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London today in solidarity with Hong Kong’s independent and democratic trade union movement (HKTU), including those who are imprisoned or in exile.

Congratulations to @LulaOficial on his re-election.
Together, our two governments have promoted shared values of democracy, social justice and climate action since 2024 and look forward to continuing to do so.
His victory is a historic win for the global progressive movement.
