Spanish term or phrase: participar con sus reclamos
Los conflictos sociales han continuado en sectores como los cocaleros, medio ambientales, mineros, maestros, médicos, enfermeras etc. Igualmente los conflictos locales por cuestiones de corrupción de autoridades. Esto lo recoge la Defensoría del Pueblo en sus informes mensuales. A este nivel se ha denotado el interés de la población por participar con sus reclamos, pero no siempre bajo métodos democráticos.
