The Front for the Defense of the Interests of the People of Loreto called a 24-hour regional civic strike to protest the signing of the oil contract with Texas Crude in the Pacaya Samiria reserve. The strike was successfully observed by the region's population. This mobilization took place in the context of multiple social protests at the national level during June 1991, including strikes by SUTEP and health sector workers. The protest reflected the Loreto population's rejection of oil exploitation policies in protected areas of the Amazon.
