Departmental strike in Puno
New departmental strike and massive rally demanding acceleration of agrarian restructuring
A new departmental strike took place in Puno. In Ayaviri, a gigantic rally organized by the Single Federation of Peasants of Melgar (FUCAM) demanded the acceleration of agrarian restructuring. The land movement achieved an appreciable degree of legitimacy with the renewed support of the church and trade and professional organizations in the departmental capital. The government suspended the Puno Rimanakuy on two occasions due to these mobilizations.
