Peru: People affected by the works of the Chancay Megaport hold a seminar to raise awareness of their demands

‘Affected by the works of the Megaport held a working day to make their demands visible’, September 16, 2024

...The multipurpose port terminal or Megaport of Chancay is, without doubt, a very important work for the country, in charge of the Chinese company Cosco Shipping, but in the same sense it must attend to the social and environmental impacts that it is causing and which are not being duly attended to by the Peruvian authorities.

...[D]iverse sectors of the population point out that the company has not adequately attended to the people whose homes have been affected by the blasting and explosions caused by the works. Likewise, land speculation and land trafficking have been denounced. The impact on small-scale fishing in the area, on tourist activities, as well as on the tranquillity of the area, as they denounce that public insecurity has increased...

During the workshop, some of the main effects of the mega-port works were discussed, such as the increase in public insecurity, problems such as speculation and land trafficking, as well as the lack of a forward-looking policy on the part of the national and local authorities in the face of population growth and the lack of works to improve the infrastructure of health, education, sanitation, among others?
