Peru's Agriculture Minister, Carlos Leyton arrived in Andahuaylas today, heading an executive committee intended to talk with local leaders and trying to solve their indefinite strike.
However, the leaders require the presence of the Prime Minister Yehude Simon.
The aforementioned committee consists of representatives from various ministries and also includes Apurímac's Regional President, David Salazar Morote.
The strike in Andahuaylas started last week, and the demands include, among other things, the construction of a road, appointing more teachers to remote rural areas, sanitation and the completion of an irrigation canal.
Meanwhile, the roads remain blocked, and shops and markets closed their doors at 10am, due to this strike.
