00:02Dozens of indigenous people and peasant farmers marched into La Paz on Monday after a 25-day, 1,000-kilometer
00:09journey from the northern department of Pando, demanding the repeal of Law 1,720, which they say threatens land security.
00:18The protesters gathered in the city center, warning the law could allow greater land concentration in eastern Bolivia by enabling
00:26small farms to be converted into larger holdings through administrative processes.
01:10The march began on April 8th in El Sena, the same day President Rodrigo Paz enacted the law during
01:18a meeting with agribusiness and farming groups.
01:20Officials said the measure aims to help small producers access credit and improve productivity.
