00:37:23,000 These are our demands. 426 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:28,767 One of the most debated laws was law 1,090, the Forest Law. 427 00:37:29,767 --> 00:37:36,567 The Forest Law allowed parties of the rainforest 428 00:37:37,133 --> 00:37:41,667 no longer be considered a natural resource, 429 00:37:41,733 --> 00:37:46,133 so that it can also be private property. 430 00:37:47,067 --> 00:37:52,300 Our indigenous brothers decided if law 1090 were repealed 431 00:37:52,367 --> 00:37:57,467 would put an end to the protest. 432 00:37:57,533 --> 00:38:02,633 The recommendations say that it must be revoked, 433 00:38:03,167 --> 00:38:06,267 and that's all we ask. 434 00:38:10,067 --> 00:38:15,433 When these laws were being debated in Congress, 435 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:21,000 the government pressured your own party 436 00:38:21,067 --> 00:38:25,467 saying that if they changed a simple comma or paragraph 437 00:38:25,700 --> 00:38:28,567 in these laws 438 00:38:28,633 --> 00:38:29,500 FORMER MEMBER OF CONGRESS 439 00:38:30,133 --> 00:38:34,333 This would make the entire Agreement of Free Trade was annulled. 440 00:38:35,700 --> 00:38:39,400 This was a lie. 441 00:38:40,567 --> 00:38:44,800 Indigenous lands they had nothing to see 442 00:38:45,133 --> 00:38:48,533 with the American Trade Agreement. 443 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:49,467 Nothing. 444 00:38:50,133 --> 00:38:55,367 That was the big fraud of Alan Garcia's government. 445 00:38:58,067 --> 00:39:02,633 Garcia had the majority in Congress. 446 00:39:03,267 --> 00:39:08,233 And they reacted in the form of support to its president. 447 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,800 If he didn't want to repeal the laws, they wouldn't revoke them. 448 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,667 {\an8}When we reached day 56 of the protest, opposition parties in Congress 449 00:39:21,733 --> 00:39:26,200 {\an8}managed to put into debate the Forest Law 1,090. 450 00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:31,800 I think Congress is taking a good attitude 451 00:39:32,033 --> 00:39:34,800 regarding the resolution of this problem. 452 00:39:35,033 --> 00:39:36,500 But is it just one of the laws? 453 00:39:36,567 --> 00:39:39,200 Yes, it's just one. 454 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:45,300 But we hope that the other laws contested 455 00:39:45,433 --> 00:39:48,000 are considered unconstitutional. 456 00:39:48,767 --> 00:39:52,733 The debate 457 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:59,100 to repeal Forest Law 1,090 will continue. 458 00:40:00,667 --> 00:40:02,800 We will now vote on a new motion, 459 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,500 to suspend all debate on
