More than 1,000 people blocked since today morning the access to Yacyreta hydroelectric plant, in the bordering department of Misiones, demanding the payment of debts from months ago.
Protesters include not only inhabitants of the area nearby the facility and former employees of the entity, but also authorities of the neighboring locality of Ayolas.
The protest will last during today seeking to an agreement with the management, but organizers warned that if an agreement is not reached the protest will be permanent until a favourable reaction occurs.
The conflict refers to the failure by Paraguay’s administration, while authorities of the Argentinean part of the hydroelectric plant have no responsibility in the aforementioned payment delays.
