The curfew and dry law measures that are in force from this Friday at 7:00 pm in Cali until 5:00 am this Saturday, will also begin at the same time on the remaining days of this weekend. This was announced by Mayor Jorge Iván Ospina, who understands that the measure generates discomfort in the gastronomic and entertainment sector, but said that "it is necessary for the city to return to normality." After being part of the extraordinary security council with President Duque in which maximum military assistance was determined for the city and the department due to the acts of public order that left four dead, the head of the local government stated that: "we cannot stay arms crossed when this type of situation occurs, for that the presence of the Army and the Police is important".

"I am anchored in the principles that form me, of respect for the life and dignity of our people. We are going to treat those who want to impose an agenda of force with force, but I will always insist on dialogue," declared the mayor. The mayor referred to this Friday as "a painful day. We have lost human lives and I take the opportunity to express solidarity with their families. They should not have died. It cannot be that a mobilization turns into terror, anguish and death" , he emphasized.

"I cannot accept it, just as I have to condemn civilians shooting at the crowd in Ciudad Jardín. It cannot be allowed in societies that must understand that weapons are not the way." Ospina lamented these violent acts "that hide peaceful demonstration and the right to the protest that other citizens exercised to mobilize".
