The Strike in Puerto Maldonado is over!

Policemen are dancing together with miners in the main square of Puerto Maldonado.
Viva the national Peruvian police! the man with the mike shouts and the crowd answers.

Both sides have reached an agreement, in Lima, according to which the Decree would be put on hold for 6 month.
In this time the two sides would sit together and work together on the content of the decree.
Puerto Maldonado is celebrating to the music of the police orchestra.

and I can move on, to a village that was cheated out of its land by a petrol company… stay tuned

DECRETO DE URGENCIA Nº 012-2010

I would stop saying I would translate, because I, most likely, would not.

but here is the Law it is all about
DECRETO DE URGENCIA Nº 012-2010

and if God takes it offline (as God sometimes do), you would find the same here

A 48 hours break in the Strike in Puerto maldonado

According to the biggest newpaper “El Comercio”

“Delegates of both groups (Federation of Miners in Madre de Dios, and National Federation of Miners) will arrive Wednesday to Lima to participate in the formation of a high Commission that would look for a solution for the social crisis that came about following the measures of force being used by the informal miners.
Another situation exists in kilometer 620 of the Pan-American South Road, where more than 6000 miners are blocking this route. The miners in KM 620 are saying that they will continue with this form of protest, because their reclamations differ from those of their colleagues of Madre de Dios. “

Tonight in Lima: Talks between miners’ leaders and government representatives

The leaders are leaving Puerto Maldonado today for the talks that would start tonight and last for 2 days.
Groups of miners are scattered around town. Enough shops are open for survival. There are still local meet and chickens and the prices are still the same.
Another quiet day in the life of a golden town.
