The Disabled Protest

'We are not invisible.'

'For the fullfillment of the transportation subsidy.'

An organization of disabled people held a protest by City Hall this morning, charging that their

benefits are being cut. If true, this is suprising for the administration of Mayor Gustavo Petro, a leftist who you'd expect to give the poor and disabled top priority. 

The demonstration also produced the surprising spectacle of a line of armored riot police protecting City Hall from a small group of disabled people.
