An Indigenous Achuar community in Loreto, Peru is threatening to block sections of the Marañón River due to over S/2.9 million in unpaid funds owed by the Colegio Naranjal consortium. The community demands the completion of an educational project that is currently 80% finished. After months of waiting for payment and action, residents have announced an indefinite strike. They warn that they will occupy two strategically important points along the Marañón River if the Loreto Regional Government fails to meet its obligations. The dispute centers around the completion of a school construction project and financial commitments made to the Indigenous community. This action puts pressure on the regional government to resolve the issue and prevent disruption to river traffic. Failure to address the concerns could lead to significant economic and logistical challenges in the area.
