Protesters Block Highways in Southern Peru
LIMA – People taking part in a 48-hour general strike to protest the policies of Peruvian President Ollanta Humala are blocking the main roadways in the southern region of Cuzco, an official with the public ombudsman’s office told Efe on Wednesday. “It’s a rather strong paralysis. There is little traffic, there is no public transportation. Interprovincial transportation has also been paralyzed,” said Silvio Campana. On the second day of the protests, demonstrators are continuing to block the highways linking Cuzco with Lima and the southern cities of Puno and Arequipa.
