After the repeal of the Agrarian Promotion Law by the Congress of the Republic, the agro-industrial protesters reopened the roads in the regions of Ica and La Libertad in the direction of Lima, which had been blocked as a protest measure.

According to images broadcast by TV Peru, the jubilation of the protesters is appreciated, who amid applause freed the roads of these regions. Others observed a minute of silence for the people who lost their lives during this agricultural strike.

"We are here to support their fight, which is just, it is not possible that they have always taken advantage of our working brothers and a law has been passed that violates their rights," said one of the protesters.

Some of the protesters sang the National Anthem as a sign of happiness after the repeal of the rule. While others continued to clear the road for the buses to continue their journey.

 

The plenary session of the Congress of the Republic approved the repeal of the Agrarian Promotion Law after protests by farmers in Ica and northern Peru - which have left at least one dead - and in the midst of a strike that has already been going on for five days.

 

Some of the protesters sang the National Anthem as a sign of happiness after the repeal of the rule. While others continued to clear the road for the buses to continue their journey.

 

By 114 votes in favor, 2 against and 7 abstentions, the national representation gave the green light to Bill 5759 that proposes repealing Law No. 27360, which approves promotion standards for the agricultural sector. The rule was exonerated on a second ballot.
