Fabrega: "A Minority Group of Indians Want To Damage The Peace"
Government Minister, Jorge Ricardo Fabrega said a minority group of indigenous Ngäbe Bugle Indians want to damage the peace that was achieved following the agreement signed with the government. Fabrega made these statements after several Indians, who are opposed to mining, yesterday invaded for a second day, the grounds of the Barro Blanco Hydroelectric Project in the province of Chiriqui, so that the authorities had to intervene.
The Indians when cornered by the National Police (PN), who fired tear gas, responded with stones.
Fabrega made his statements during a ground breaking ceremony for a new home for the elderly that will be constructed in Rio Abajo. (TVN)
