Both El Deber website and PAT noon program reported that the government has decided to send five ministers to seek dialogue; the indigenous marching groups have accepted. The only discrepancy is that in PAT one of the leaders spoke of different ministers… however, El Deber and final note from PAT coincide with the following list: Public Works, Walter Delgadillo; Presidency, Carlos Romero; Productive Development, Teresa Morales; Justice, Nilda Copa; and Environment and Water, Mabel Monje. PAT said that the latter will arrive to San Borja shortly.

The first four ministers arrived San Borja around 12:25 noon time today.
