Keith Woolford Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Indigenous peoples have been blocking the highway at San Feliz sporadically and it's closed this morning.. They are protesting the lack of transportation for teachers to remote areas of the Comarca. Last week 2 teachers died up there when their pickup truck was caught in a landslide.

Keith Woolford Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Police in riot gear have been called in to prevent indigenous people from blocking the PanAmerican Highway at Horconcitos. They were protesting road conditions in the Comarca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Woolford Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 These protests continue intermittently and it's tough for the Police not to respond when the highway gets closed. I remember thinking years ago that a comment suggesting that Seco sales be suspended in the area was inappropriate but I'm wondering now if it might not be such a bad idea.
