Paraguayan Campesinos Start Massive Mobilization
Published 24 September 2015
In Paraguay, an estimated 80 percent of the land is in the hands of only two percent of the population, one of the worst rates in the region.
Paraguay’s campesinos initiated a massive demonstration on Wednesday morning in the district of Santa Rosa of Aguaray in the department of San Pedro.
The mobilization was called for by the National Federation of Campesinos (FNC) and will last until Saturday in San Estanislao and other districts.
The FNC stated that small producers were “surrounded by the abandonment of national production, the aid policies, the implementation of a state terrorism and the militarization, as well as the marijuana production.”
