In a show of total disrespect and intolerance, protesters in Cusco, who abide by the agrarian strike on November 23 and 24, whipped a taxi driver who had not complied with the protest measure on public roads.
The event occurred on the Angostura road, which connects Cusco with the Saylla area, where the driver of the vehicle with the ABE-270 license plate was intercepted by a picket of protesters, who forced him to get out of the vehicle and then loaded him up and lashed him with a large whip.
While the driver was attacked, other demonstrators painted their car with phrases alluding to the agrarian strike. Finally they left the driver alone who only managed to laugh nervously.
At this time the main access and exit points of Cusco are blocked. In the morning a picket of protesters located on the Cusipata bridge in Quispicanchi did not allow up to three units of the Fire Department to passwho were going to fight a forest fire in the archaeological complex of Waqrapukara.
In Cusco the call was activated ‘Safe tourist corridor’ through which national and foreign visitors They are transferred to their lodgings or to the airport aboard patrol cars and even PNP motorcycles.
