BOGOTA (Reuters) - Far fewer protesters came out on Thursday for a second day of demonstrations against a tax reform proposed by the Colombian government, which among other things would expand items subject to value-added tax.

Marches called by major unions took place across the country on Wednesday despite a judicial order and calls from local and national government to delay the action amid a deadly third wave of coronavirus infections.
