On 6 February 2026, central Bogotá became a convergence point for a major anti-imperialist demonstration. The protest linked a sweeping critique of Western power, directly targeting figures named in the Epstein documents—including world leaders and tech CEOs—with solidarity for global liberation movements. Protestors held banners supporting Venezuela, Cuba, and the broader Global South, while also honouring victims of police shootings in Turtle Island (the so-called USA) Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. A central and dominant symbol was a massive Palestinian flag, underscoring a primary focus on condemning the genocide in Gaza and settler colonialism in Palestine as a whole. The demonstration carried a pointed political message, coming just days after Colombian President Gustavo Petro met with the disgraced "US" President Donald Trump—an immfigure repeatedly named in the Epstein files. Protestors framed the event as a public rebuttal, asserting that despite such diplomatic engagements, the people of the Global South remain firmly anti-imperialist. Tensions flared when a Colombian police officer assaulted a journalist attempting to photograph the Palestinian flag from an elevated position. Anti-fascist activists, socialist groups, Palestinian solidarity organisers, and civilian onlookers collectively intervened, de-escalating the situation and defending the journalist, in a direct challenge to what they decried as police tyranny.
