Peru Congress temporarily suspends decrees rejected by Amazon natives

Isabel Guerra
Peru's Congress voted to temporarily suspend two of the land laws that ignited violent clashes last week: the decrees N°1090 and N°29317.
These laws outline a broad plan for how to regulate investment in the Amazon, but have caused great controversy among the native communities, who have serious concerns about the impact this would have on the rainforest and on their lives.
President Garcia has 15 days to either sign the suspension order or send it back to Congress, which can override his veto.
However, the natives announced that their protests will continue until those laws are finally derogated, and that they are preparing demonstrations in several Peruvian cities for tomorrow.
