Residents block highway over delayed roadworks

Residents of La Pastora have reignited their protest, blocking the Pan-American Highway to demand action on promised road paving. The community expressed frustration over the continued delays in the asphalt plan, which regional authorities had previously committed to. The demonstration brought traffic to a standstill, underscoring the urgency of the residents' demands.

Following the blockade, a mediation process has been agreed upon. Representatives from the Lara State Government and the Mayor's Office of the Torres Municipality are expected to engage with the community in Carora. This step aims to de-escalate the situation and find a resolution to the infrastructure dispute.

The protest highlights ongoing issues with public services and infrastructure development in the region. Residents are seeking concrete action and timely completion of projects they were promised, demonstrating their willingness to take direct action when their concerns are not addressed.
