VOICED : Peru: mineros resisten ultimatum

Thousands of artisanal gold miners are protesting in Lima against the Peruvian government's deadline to formalize their work. The government blames illegal mining for environmental damage and seeks to integrate miners into the formal system to improve conditions and tax compliance. The Federation of Artisanal Miners accuses the government of favoring large companies. Despite protests and roadblocks, the government remains firm on the deadline, with President Ollanta Humala urging peace. Peru, a major gold producer, has around 70,000 informal miners.
