The Ministry of the Interior, through Circular CIR2020-42-DMI-1000, revoked CIR2020-29-DMI-1000, by which the indigenous communities, ROM, black, Afro-Colombian Raizales and Palenqueras, were informed that previous consultations would be held virtually, due to the quarantine decreed by the President.  

This Circular established the suspension of the proceedings and face-to-face meetings of the prior consultation processes of projects, works, and activities involving visits, meetings, and physical agglomerations of the indigenous communities, ROM, black, Afro-Colombian Raizales and Palenqueras, until the State of National Emergency is lifted.
