She can barely walk and has spent Saturdays at home for some time.<\/p>\n<p>Rosita\u2019s knees are stiffer and more swollen than before, and she knows she won\u2019t be able to keep up with the others. But it is 5 o\u2019clock in the afternoon on August 7 and she is sitting on a bench in Plaza 9 de Julio opposite the pink church of St. Francis of Assisi. The 600th Walk for Life organized in Andalgal\u00e1, a city in the province of Catamarca, in northwestern Argentina, is about to start.<\/p>\n<p>The El Algarrobo Assembly is responsible for staging the resistance against mega-mining in the territory and the defense of water.

According to the Argentine Institute of Snow Science, Glaciology and Environmental Sciences (IANIGLA), there are ice sheets only 700 meters from the mining settlement in Andalgal\u00e1, located in a periglacial zone. In March, the Ministry of the Environment confirmed the information based on an audit.<\/p>\n<p>A month later, bulldozers climbed Mount Aconquija.<\/p>\n<p>They did it on April 7, through a neighboring department, in secret. MARA (Agua Rica-Alumbrera Mine) is the result of the merger between two previous mines and their respective infrastructures. The consortium, together with Glencore and Newmont Goldcorp, is at the advanced exploration stage: they expect to achieve annual production of 533 million pounds of copper, 107 thousand ounces of gold and \u201ccontributions\u201d of molybdenum and silver in the first 10 years. The mine would have a useful life of 28 years.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that there are machines on the mountain grieves the people involved in the struggle. As a result of the news, the massive, peaceful invitation to walk N\u00b0583 on April 10 ended with a suspicious fire in a warehouse belonging to the company. The place was completely destroyed. In the search for culprits, 12 assembly members were arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The deposit is located in the center of the Minas River channel, which together with the Blanco and Candado rivers forms the Andalgal\u00e1 River basin, used for the irrigation, energy and human consumption of that city and its surroundings. The water is snowmelt from the glacial layer and periglacial environment covering the mountain range.<\/p>\n<p>Open pit mining would mean that explosions would produce greenhouse gases and dust. The mineral dust that could be scattered is sulfides. If that mixes with rainwater, it releases a stream of sulfuric acid, which is highly reactive and attacks rocks,\u201d explains the Andalgala geologist from the University of San Juan, Aldo Banchig.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSulfur is still present in one of the mining areas of the hill, and when it mixes with surface water, it produces a turquoise-colored stream, which is copper sulfate,&#8221; Banchig reports. He also notes that, for now, the river is \u201cpretty good\u201d in terms of drinkability.<\/p>\n<p>One of the achievements of the Assembly was a judicial ruling by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. In 2016, it determined that the activity of the Agua Rica mining company was damaging the environment and society, and warned of avalanches, landslides, water contamination and health repercussions, as outlined in the General Environmental Act.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the court ruling, that same year the Municipality of Andalgal\u00e1 unanimously approved Ordinance 029\/2016 prohibiting mining activity. The rule was repealed in December 2020 by the provincial Supreme Court, which declared it unconstitutional. The justification was that since the province does not have an environmental act that prevents mining operations, no rights were being violated, which is why the machines made their way up the hill last April.<\/p>\n<p>The context in which the Escaz\u00fa Agreement, ratified by Argentina, has been in force since April 22, raises the question about the degree of responsibility of the state when the people defend the territory. The Latin American and Caribbean treaty is designed to guarantee access to information, justice, and citizen participation in environmental issues, as well as the Human Rights of those who defend the territory in the region, the most dangerous one in the world for environmental defenders, according to Global Witness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the state does nothing or is insufficient, it is in breach of the Agreement. You can appeal to the international body to ensure that for judicial decisions are complied with, for example,\u201d says Andr\u00e9s N\u00e1poli, FARN director and a party in the treaty negotiations.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-284d57f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"284d57f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5fa8b17\" data-id=\"5fa8b17\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-804ba5e animated-slow elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"804ba5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;bounceIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70f7555 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"70f7555\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 40px; font-family: 'Baloo 2'; font-weight: bold; color: #006d55;\">Fighting is in the air<\/h5>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2dbc80 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f2dbc80\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>\u201cThis place belongs to everyone,\u201d says Jos\u00e9 Martiarene when he opened the gate of the El Algarrobo headquarters, the site of the community radio station they founded in the small town of Chaquiago. The door with a photo of Santiago Maldonado opens onto a small study with beautiful murals of the indigenous populations, a plastic table and a couple of microphones. This is where the Assembly denounces the extractivist system that prevails in the world, which is exacerbating global inequality; the famous North-South asymmetry.<\/p>\n<p>With a panoramic view of the mountain range, this humble dirt and sand terrain is dotted with flags representing the struggle. Some serve as strategic walls because they say that a neighbor spies on them to pass on information to the authorities. This is hardly surprising since the headquarters is on the road MARA trucks take to climb the hill and sometimes the Assembly decides to cut it off. Their protests were repressed there on February 15, 2010.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Voice of Algarrobo,\u201d the star program is hosted by Rosita Far\u00edas on Saturdays from 11 to 13, although the last time \u201cshe took a well-deserved vacation,\u201d said Jos\u00e9. It is the same reason she does not go on walks. But for more than six years, her voice acted as a conduit between the Assembly and the rest of the people; the adjustment knob that finds the frequency, a form of resistance: The snow-capped mountain Aconquija must not be touched,\u201d says the wall outside.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e04579 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4e04579\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/d382e4c8-6fa4-4e9c-8572-cef0fb9fb2e9_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9007\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/d382e4c8-6fa4-4e9c-8572-cef0fb9fb2e9_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg 880w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/d382e4c8-6fa4-4e9c-8572-cef0fb9fb2e9_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/d382e4c8-6fa4-4e9c-8572-cef0fb9fb2e9_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c12f363 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c12f363\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><b><i>The headquarters of El Algarrobo, where the community radio station they founded in the town of Chaquiago is located<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a9efed elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a9efed\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>According to Rosa, \u201cLearning\u201d is what has defined her years of struggle.

The people who felt the clubs continue to feel them on their skin and the blows and screams continue to resonate in their heads. Young and old. Their wrists still bar the mark of the tightly tied rope. And afterwards? The humiliation of having your physical and mental integrity violated, the fear of going out, of losing your job, and of having them go after your family. There was a lot of crying involved; empowerment might come later.<\/p>\n<p>That description could refer to the repression of February 15, 2010, when they beat everyone\u2014everyone\u2014in the Andalgal\u00e1 world for the first time, or the raids and arrests that began in April 2021, after the fire. The surprise effect, the criminalization of protest and excessive violence, were present in both. At first, Rosa thought the term \u201cmining dictatorship\u201d was a bit of an exaggeration, she admits. But those events made the words come out effortlessly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFebruary 15\u201d is a phrase, an idea that has already been etched on the collective imaginary. When Jos\u00e9 found his partner with their son in her arms and her back shot to ribbons. When Sara Fern\u00e1ndez and her mother clung to each other on the ground while they were beaten with sticks and kicked. That day, while the neighbors were singing the national anthem, several others were put into police vans. Even the figure of the Virgin with her white cape was riddled with bullets. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23533b2 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"23533b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/a09e1d7c-591d-4a3b-a7ae-d15db61fb38e_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9008\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/a09e1d7c-591d-4a3b-a7ae-d15db61fb38e_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg 880w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/a09e1d7c-591d-4a3b-a7ae-d15db61fb38e_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/a09e1d7c-591d-4a3b-a7ae-d15db61fb38e_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ae13e0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ae13e0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><b><i>Rosa Far\u00edas hosts \u201cLa Voz del Algarrobo\u201d, the flagship program of community radio, on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-951b467 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"951b467\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>When the situation was repeated in April of this year, Rosa, one of the women most committed to the struggle, did not have the strength to ask about the details of the latest arrests: \u201cI knew I was going to break down. Because they are boys I know, who grew up in the struggle and I regard them as my sons,\u201d she said wistfully.<\/p>\n<p>Rosa, this warning is for you: the following paragraphs detail those events that began on April 12 2021 and may make uncomfortable reading.<\/p>\n<p>Sara had finished an English class when, just after 10:30 am, a group of police officers broke into her house. She asked for an explanation, although she imagined that they would stretch it out for a couple of hours and that would be that. But one of the police woman put her arm around her neck and squeezed until she fainted. As she fell, she hit her head on a piece of furniture. \u201cDon\u2019t be so feeble,\u201d they said laughing. And with Sara finally on the ground, with no oxygen and her hand injured after it had been stomped on, they managed to pull her by the hair and put her in the van.<\/p>\n<p>The residents of Andalgal\u00e1 say that bad things do not happen in the town. It is usually peaceful and at most they can steal your bike. However, the arrests were made by forces from the Kuntur group, Catamarca\u2019s special division trained to deal with cases involving situations such as hostage-taking, complex raids, and transfers of dangerous prisoners. Is Andalgal\u00e1 a peaceful town?<\/p>\n<p>Those who demonstrated on the day of the incident have doubts about how things happened; that the door opened very easily, that there was not even one fire extinguisher. The firefighters two blocks away took two hours to arrive and the area was empty of police officers, who always closely monitor the walks, except that day. Nobody knows anything, but 12 people were held in custody for 15 days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey chose them so they could interrogate them One of the boys was taken out of his cell at night; they began to say that they knew his son. They asked him if he was not afraid that his pregnant wife was alone, and why he wouldn\u2019t say who had done it. They looked for people who might crack under pressure, but no one saw anything connected to the fire,\u201d said Sara. According to the compilation of various testimonials, the days they spent in the police station (in some cases it was three or four until they completed their sentences under house arrest) they had no sunlight, and were kept in damp, dark cells, with dirty mattresses and toilets without water.<\/p>\n<p>Many of those people are taking part in the 600 race today, still with ongoing legal cases. One of them is carrying a sign that says, \u201cImprisoned for defending the water that belongs to everyone.\u201d Some are still afraid and choose not to join the march. This is where Aldo Flores comes in and says that marching is for the military, that Andalgal\u00e1 walks, it does not march.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5618c6 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b5618c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/e414fa67-b402-4b68-947d-735c10d40b0a_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9009\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/e414fa67-b402-4b68-947d-735c10d40b0a_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg 880w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/e414fa67-b402-4b68-947d-735c10d40b0a_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/e414fa67-b402-4b68-947d-735c10d40b0a_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8eb5d4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8eb5d4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em><strong>One of the detainees in Andalgal\u00e1, on a walk through life<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fbe6909 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fbe6909\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>During those days of anguish at the police station, there was always a group of people camped outside that foreshadowed hope.

You cannot carry on a conversation with her without her being interrupted to greet someone with a hug. She will be on tenterhooks until the walk returns to the starting point. Her daughters and grandchildren will walk on behalf of her: \u201cYou are going to be the voice and we are going to be your body,\u201d they told her a while ago, because the struggle is the last thing you give up.<\/p>\n<p>The softspoken speaker\u2019s greetings for the Assembly can be heard through the loudspeaker. It is Nora Corti\u00f1as, \u201cMama Norita\u201d as she is known here. The Plaza de Mayo Mother always rooted for Andalgal\u00e1, although she defines herself as \u201csupportive\u201d of the demands. The Assembly says that she opened many doors for them. In the village, her name is sacred.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cState terrorism did not develop of its own accord,\u201d explained Nora, \u201cIt was created to implement an economic model to suit the United States. Argentina is a country that is not poor; it is impoverished because it has a crushing debt. So now we are mounting a huge resistance because the people were repressed, tortured and the extractivism trucks continue up the mountain removing our wealth to give it away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 91-year-old woman knows exactly what walking represents. Her footsteps began to create paths in 1977, when the walks around the Plaza de Mayo marked the beginning of a revolution in the midst of a military dictatorship. Norita knows more than anyone what it means to confront economic power, an entire system that scorns life and tries to silence the voice of the peoples. It is no coincidence that walks through life are precisely that: walks. You clear a path to bring to light what is hidden and anomalous, a legacy of the Mothers that El Algarrobo used to build a present with memory and a future with hope.<\/p>\n<p>The sociologist Horacio Machado Ar\u00e1oz says that \u201cthe expropriation processes that began with the brutal violation of \u201chuman rights\u201d in the military dictatorships of the 1970s continue today. Nowadays they take the form of \u2018the degradation of bodily materiality that makes \u2018individuals\u2019 and populations\u2019 corporealities that can be acknowledged as the \u2018legitimate bearers of rights\u2019\u201d. Historically, the natural wealth of impoverished countries was plundered to serve the richest people, meaning that today, even in democracy, systematic extermination plans are indirectly implemented against the population.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5773949 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5773949\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4b4a6c9a-82ed-4cd3-bd7c-ae10b91e77db_16-9-discover-aspect-ratio_default_0-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-9010\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4b4a6c9a-82ed-4cd3-bd7c-ae10b91e77db_16-9-discover-aspect-ratio_default_0-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4b4a6c9a-82ed-4cd3-bd7c-ae10b91e77db_16-9-discover-aspect-ratio_default_0-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4b4a6c9a-82ed-4cd3-bd7c-ae10b91e77db_16-9-discover-aspect-ratio_default_0-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/defensorasdelterritorio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/4b4a6c9a-82ed-4cd3-bd7c-ae10b91e77db_16-9-discover-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af51bef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"af51bef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><em>Andalgal\u00e1 walks in defense of water<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c11856 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4c11856\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>\u201cAndalgal\u00e1 does not forget the repressions, the ridiculous prosecution merely for defending the water,\u201d reads Ana Chayle, a slight woman holding the microphone in the square just before the start of the 600 walk. \u201cIt seems that political power does not exercise its memory. That is why it does not realize that every time they touch one, a hundred more go out into the street. That is why they did not understand that Andalgal\u00e1 gets back up again and is strengthened after every onslaught.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The people have swollen legs from so much walking. Each step becomes more difficult because the path is steep and rocky. Their destination is the source of the river; life. The time Andalgal\u00e1 has spent walking is embodied every day, in every tear and in every laugh, because it knows that peace and quiet do not last long. But that gloomy conviction makes it more resistant to each blow and collectively strengthened. There are no proper names, no individuality. It is the love of the territory, history, and the future; memory and hope that feed each other, because one exists because of the other, just like companions in the struggle for their lives, yours, and mine.<\/p>\n<p>Andalgal\u00e1 does not rest but it has a clear conscience and so it walked the streets that August 7 for the 600th time but it also continued and will continue to take part in the 601st, 602nd and 603rd walks.
