BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombian police clashed with small numbers of protesters and some public transport infrastructure was damaged in Bogota on Tuesday after a renewal of demonstrations.

Marchers held mass protests in November and December last year to demand concessions from President Ivan Duque's right-wing government. Tuesday's protests were the first this year, and organizers say larger ones will come in March.
