the miner hudbay, and its contractor Stracon, were victims of an attack in Cusco. Protesters set fire to three dump trucks belonging to both companies.
Sources of Peru21 revealed that this event occurred a kilometer and a half from the Constancia project (in the province of Chumbivilcas), in the contractor’s workshop.
The demonstrators did not manage to enter the mining camp.
A few days ago, protesters set vehicles on fire at the Antapaccay mining camp, operated by Glencore, and later attacked a drinking water pump.
These events occur in the midst of protests that are taking place in different parts of the country and that have caused several mining companies to report that they have difficulties transporting their production.
The problems respond to the blockade of the mining corridor, which crosses Arequipa, Cusco and Apurímac, affecting the transport of minerals.
