00:00And miners are blocking streets in southern Peru to demand the government of Dina Boluarte

00:04to extend the deadline for completing mining formalization. The miners demand an extension

00:10of the period for the Integral Mining Formalization Registry, which ends on December 31, 2024.

00:17They argue that the formalization process is very difficult to achieve as they depend

00:21on third parties to obtain a contract to exploit mining land. According to statistics,

00:26half a million Peruvians would lose their work permit, thus they would not be able to work

00:31legally after the closing of the registry. In this regard, the mobilized people warn

00:36that they will remain on the streets until their demands are heard.
