Through a statement released this Sunday, the CNI – which brings together several peasant organizations – expressed its refusal to request made by the Municipality of Asunción to the demonstrators who will arrive tomorrow in the capital.
From the municipality they had asked the peasants, indigenous and self-styled “homeless” who will participate in the mobilizations not to use the Plaza Uruguaya as a meeting point for this call.
Given this situation, the National Intersectoral Coordinator reported that “they will be forced to occupy the streets of Asunción to exercise their right to mobilization contemplated in the National Constitution.”

In the same statement, they urge the recovery of public spaces usurped by the red sectionals, which would add more than 20, as mentioned in the text.
It is estimated that between 5,000 and 7,000 people will be participating in the mobilization scheduled for this Monday in the streets of downtown Asunción.
In addition to the CNI, members of the National Peasant Federation (FNC), the United National Organizations Without Land and Housing (ONU-STV) and the Indigenous and Popular Peasant Articulation (ACIP) will also be part of this call.
