Yanet Rondón, an agricultural leader, pointed out that the authorities and institutions involved are omitting the existence of a law that was enacted between 2001 and 2002, where they were granted control and possession of those lands.
So far they do not know the reason for these measures.
It is worth mentioning that so far producers from the municipalities of Andrés Mata and Benítez are currently being affected, however, they do not rule out that these abuses may also be committed against farmers from other municipalities in Sucre.
Furthermore, they call on the administration of Nicolás Maduro to reverse the measures applied through the courts and institutions that have taken these actions that harm agricultural producers in Sucre.
