Colombia’s National Strike on November 21 represents an inflection point, both on the streets and on social media. The purpose of this research is twofold: (i) it aims to understand the composition of the clusters that actively participated in Twitter conversations on the first day of the strike, and (ii) it also seeks to determine the online interaction patterns that took place on the same platform. First, this paper delivers a brief theoretical review of the politics-internet relationship. Second, it describes the methodology applied in this project: Network Analysis. Third, it outlines the data collection process. Fourth, it explains how the network graph was created. Lastly, it concludes with some considerations regarding the possible consequences of the National Strike-related Twitter activity for Colombian politics at large.

Palabras clave : Network Analysis; Social Media; Colombia’s November 21 Strike; Twitter.
