Infrastructure and land disputes in Chile and Peru

Overview

Community disputes and protests regarding infrastructure and public works have emerged in Chile and Peru.

In Santa María, Chile, a landowner closed a private perimeter previously used as an informal path, leading to conflict with neighbors. The landowner’s representative, José Maldini Hauva, stated the path is not a public road and urged the municipality to improve alternative routes or address illegal settlements.

In Peru, residents have staged various protests against delays and incomplete projects. In Juliaca, community members chained themselves together to demand the completion of the Parque del Centenario, which has exceeded its original timeline by over 260 days. Meanwhile, in the Mariano Melgar district, residents of the Jerusalén community protested the alleged abandonment of roads following water infrastructure works managed by Sedapar. Local leaders claim the contractor, J&D, failed to meet a 60-day deadline, leaving roads in disrepair and causing disruptions such as excessive dust and the suspension of public transport.
