The mayor of the province of Pataz, Carlos Aldo Mariñoshe was arrested in Nuevo Chimbote (Áncash) when he performed a walk with a group of ronders. The police intervention generated the immediate protest of the Single Central of Peasant Rounds, whose president, Santos Quispe Alvarado, denounced from Trujillo publicly that it is an act of police abuse.
“They just stopped the mayor of the province of Pataz, Carlos Aldo Mariños, in Nuevo Chimbote in Buenos Aires. I do not know what they want to want or who this order has been,” said the president of Las Rondas publicly.

The Rondero leader questioned the performance of the National Police and requested the identification of the commissioner responsible for the intervention. “That commissioner of Buenos Aires in Chimbote, identify, why he stops them, which is the order. He fulfills his duties as a policeman. You cannot commit abuse of keeping a person who is walking because there is no crime,” he said, while warning that “all the people of the province of Pataz will have to stand up.”
Quispe also denounced that the troops checked backpacks and belongings of the rondes without any justification. “An authority of a town that goes out to walk, tell me, what can be carrying? There is no reason for that intervention,” he said.
At another time, he defended the legitimacy of the peasant rounds in the face of the abuses of the police authority. “The Ronderos are the only institution with moral action. I get a rondero thief, but I do take 50 thousand co -stars,” he emphasized.
The leader also reported that he is in Trujillo to attend a meeting with the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), where they expect concrete responses about the execution of road works that, he said, they have been expanding for more than ten years. “We as Ronderos are no longer to talk to clowns, we want to talk to the owners of the circus,” he warned.
Regarding the state of emergency that governs in the province, Quispe said that no improvements in citizen security have been seen. “They keep dying, keep killing. What is the state of emergency if the army only takes care of the trucks that carry and bring mineral? In Parcoy, Llacuabamba or Tayabamba you do not see a soldier or a policeman taking care of it,” he questioned.
