Protests create chaos in Peruvian capital

(EFE Ingles Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Lima, Jul 3 (EFE).- Huge protests by workers and university students on Thursday caused chaos in Lima and resulted in at least three miners injured.

Efe saw more than 1,000 miners repressed by police with tear gas when they tried to approach Congress.

Union official Vidal Espinoza told Efe that three miners were injured - bruises and probably broken bones, he said - in the street clashes with police.

The miners are in the fourth day of a strike aimed at pressing Congress to approve laws that would expand profit-sharing in the mining industry and improve retirment benefits for miners.

Meanwhile, hundreds of people belonging to CGTP, Peru's main labor federation, marched Thursday along several streets in Lima's historic downtown to explain the reasons for the nationwide general strike the federation has called for July 9.



According to a communique from CGTP, the strike is to protest against different regulations put in place by the government of President Alan Garcia, among them the implementation of the trade treaty with the United States.

Also, hundreds of students, teachers and workers at San Marcos University marched to Congress to protest the construction of a road the Lima municipal administration is building near the campus.



At the demonstration, which was also suppressed by police with tear gas, the protesters demanded that the territory belonging to the university district not be pared down, CPN radio said.

But Lima authorities insist that they have signed a contract with San Marcos and denied that the road project will affect a pre-Columbian ceremonial center located inside the campus. EFE
