This Saturday, some 60 militants of the mountain column 2 called "Juana Azurduy" arrived in buses and vans to Route 40, near the town of El Foyel, at one of the entrances to the ranch of the English tycoon Joe Lewis, under the presence of Rio Negro police officers.

The organizers had agreed with the government of Río Negro to transfer the protesters who were camping on the shore of Lago Escondido near the mansion of British tycoon Joe Lewis, and with their arrival they announced the end of the activities that began a week ago.

The organization informed that all the participants of the mountain column are in "perfect health", while the members of the column of the public road of Tacuifí "who were attacked while they were on the road, are being treated and are out of danger".
