The first rumblings of a fledgling Peruvian cocalero movement came two days ago, when more than 1,000 delegates gathered to form the National Federation of Coca Farm Agricultural Producers. The group is headed by Secretary General Nelson Palomino, described in various press reports as seeking "to emulate" Bolivian cocalero leader Evo Morales. DRCNet will report further on this story as information becomes available.
