Colombia's campesino organizations are mobilizing in the streets of Bogota to demand government compliance with its rural development commitments. The angry peasant farmers charge that 99% of government promises dating from 2013 remain unfulfilled. The countryside is in crisis, with a poverty rate of 45% and massive migration to the cities. Land ownership remains extremely concentrated while multinational agricultural corporations are gaining ground at the expense of campesinos. Natalia Margarita reports from Bogota. teleSUR
