VOICED : Protesta campesina en Ciudad de Mexico

Farmers in Mexico protested against an energy reform that they claim facilitates land expropriation. They also demanded an agrarian reform to dismantle sector monopolies. A new agricultural regulation has allowed private initiatives, leading to accusations of price manipulation and high consumer costs. Structural reforms have opened the market to transnational companies without consulting indigenous and rural communities, causing further land expropriation concerns. The energy reform allows temporary land occupation by companies, increasing farmer indignation. Protesters from across the country met with government officials in Mexico City.
