Hugo Blanco on the Indigenous Struggle in Amazonia

Introduction: On August 22, Indigenous people in the Amazon rain forest
areas of Peru celebrated a victory in their struggle against laws that
promote privatization of communally owned land.

The following statement was distributed in Peru by supporters of the

Congress voted to repeal two of the president's reactionary decrees. It was
written by Hugo Blanco, the legendary peasant leader in the mountainous
Cuzco region.
