Protests in Parque Colina against Don Jediondo premises for breaching contracts

A new controversy has been attributed to Pedro González, better known as Don Jediondo, but this time it is not because of his particular style of humor or any statement made. The comedian is at the center of the controversy due to the fact that the alleged protest that would have been made on April 2 by suppliers of the restaurant 'Don Jediondo Sopitas y Parrillas', has recently been revealed through social networks, over alleged irregularities in their payments.

Through a trill ironically, the registered user like Airthon Rodríguez, denounced the incident allegedly happened in a shopping center in the north of the capital: “Beautiful those ventures always screwing honest people. Today at the Parque Colina Bogotá shopping center. Don't share it, I repeat, don't share it,” he posted on his Twitter account.

Within the posters you could see messages such as “Don Jediondo, the merchants of Corabastos, we ask you to pay us!” or “Stop transferring things to third parties in order to steal. Put your face on Thieves!” .

At the moment, no further information has been generated and the comedian has not officially commented on what happened. Regarding more protests in the capital, on April 4 and 5, motorcyclists will mobilize against a measure taken by Mayor Claudia López that restricts the barbecue on weekends in the city.

Bogotá has been confused in recent weeks due to the regrettable attack committed by FARC dissidents against the CAI of Arborizadora Alta in the town of Ciudad Bolivar, which left a tragic toll of 2 minors dead, a 5-year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy.

This situation forced the mayor of the capital and President Iván Duque to hold a security council. There, one of the decisions taken and communicated by President Claudia López was the restriction of the parillero on motorcycles on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. According to the mayor, the restriction that will take effect from April 11 is intended to help with the security of Bogotá.

“Dear Bogotans, the vast majority of robberies, homicides, the most serious crimes that occur in our city, occur on those three days at that time. The two terrorist attacks that we have had in our city this month occurred just Saturday night,” said Mayor López.

But this decision has not been very good for motorcyclists who have already announced mobilizations against the determination of the mayor of Bogotá. Precisely tomorrow, Monday, April 4, the mobilization will take place that will begin at 12 noon at the Virgilio Barco Library.

The motorcycle guild has pointed out as arbitrary and stigmatizing, considering that the decision will not influence an issue as complex as safety, but it will affect several motorcyclists who have their means of transport as their sole basis.

Miguel Forero, leader of the SOS Cultura group commented: “Stigmatizing a guild that has done a lot of good for citizens, which for a few cannot label everyone as criminals because they move on a motorcycle.”

Forero also pointed out the mayor's measure as insufficient since they have no direct impact on security: “It's unfair. That restriction attacks a transport vehicle, not insecurity. The thief does not get off the motorcycle and stop committing a crime, rather he is going to go to another medium to continue stealing”.
