Bogota, December 5 (RHC)-- The disapproval rating for the government of Colombian President Ivan Duque has reached 70 percent, a survey from the Invamer group reports.  

The survey, made at the end of November, highlighted that 79 percent of respondents believe that the situation in the country is getting worse and only 11 percent feel optimistic about the way the government has handled the crises.

The poll reveals that 49 percent believe that Colombia is getting worse and only 30 percent believe it is on track.  Against the issues that most concern Colombians, 88 percent pointed to citizen insecurity, followed by corruption with 84 percent and the economy with 78 percent.

The national strike has been carried out by trade unions and various social sectors in the country since November 21st.

Further adding to the problems in Colombia has been Duque's crackdown against former FARC members, with many being killed by forces loyal to the president. 

While Duque denies playing any role in these killings, his administration has done little to protect the former FARC rebels, despite the widespread attacks against these men and women.
