Unsafety
Several days ago there was a strong explosion caused by a grenade in the bus parking lot of the Coolitoral and Carolina companies. The incident happened on September 12 in Soledad.
This attack, apparently, is related to the criminal gangs that intimidate the transport union in the metropolitan area of Barranquilla.
And it is because of this type of case that the union decided to declare itself unemployed to demand greater security for them.
