The TIPNIS protest-walk group stopped in the vicinity of Yucumo said today (Los Tiempos website, )14:38 hours that they will not negotiate with government officials if the blockade of the police force persists.

Foreign Affairs Minister, David Choquehuanca could not arrive in San Borja, due to the bad condition of the air strip, due to heavy rain; he is waiting in Trinidad airport until rain stops.

Pedro Nuni, indigenous congressmen for the ruling political party, said that the offer of water of minister of government, Sacha Llorenti is a bad joke. Llorenti offered (as seen on national TV propaganda) that the government was sending 1,200 liters of water, while the group detained is around 1,600 people; Nuni said that water would only last half a day, if it reaches the TIPNIS group.
