Detector: there is no national strike called for September 20

The article by La Silla Vacía's 'Detector de Mentiras' debunks a false claim circulating online that there will be a national strike in Colombia on September 20, 2026. The claim, which describes it as 'the biggest explosion in Colombian history,' includes the slogan 'Fuera Abelardo' referring to President Álvaro Uribe. However, the article states this is a viral anonymous message without any credible source or organizer. It notes that no labor union or opposition group has officially called for such a strike. Searches across major unions like CUT, CGT, and CTC, as well as political parties and figures, did not find any reference to a strike on that date. The only organized event planned for September was a meeting, not a strike, hosted by CUT and other groups on September 11-12, 2026. The article warns against misinformation and provides tools to identify fake content.
