1/24/03
The first rumblings of a
fledgling Peruvian cocalero movement came two days ago, when more than
1,000 delegates gathered to form the National Federation of Coca Farm Agricultural
Producers. The group is headed by Secretary General Nelson Palomino,
described in various press reports as seeking "to emulate" Bolivian cocalero
leader Evo Morales. DRCNet will report further on this story as information
becomes available.
