00:05that they claim will affect the water supply in the cities of Lima and Callao.
00:09Demonstrators gathered outside the legislature for a day-long protest against the mining
00:13project, scheduled to be discussed in Congress Friday.
00:16The project seeks to build an underground mine that is said to affect at least 11 million
00:21people and would allegedly prevent them from having drinking water in their homes.
00:25The hearing for the approval of the project was scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, but was requested
00:30to be postponed due to health issues of the judge ruling the case.
