Peru, Nazca without tourists, food and petrol

(ANSA) – LIMA, NOV 28 – Nazca, a southern Peruvian municipality of 50 thousand inhabitants in the province of the same name, is “on the verge of collapse” due to the blockade of the informal miners of the Pan-American South, the road that connects this location famous throughout the world for the Nazca Lines, geoglyphs traced on the sand in the areas surrounding the city and observable only from the sky. The complaint comes from the mayor of Nazca, Jorge Bravo, who reported to the local media that “the security system is on the verge of collapse due to fuel shortages and the lack of supply in the markets which affects tourism, the main axis economy of our province”. The blockade of informal miners in the Pan-American South began on November 19, a measure of force to ask Parliament to be legalized by extending the complete register of mining formalization, the so-called Reinfo. Precisely because of the protest of informal miners, which also spread to Lima, the day before yesterday Parliament approved the impeachment of the Minister of Energy and Mines, Rómulo Mucho.
