Luxurious houses

From Neraca

Private television stations broadcast an advertisement on luxurious houses in Rancamaya once again, although not as brilliantly handled as in the past. The broadcast of this advertisement was halted for some time but, maybe due to lack of sales, the company now re-advertises them.

I must admit watching the advertisement reminds me of the sufferings of the local people who previously owned the land. To their disappointment the land compensation was very small. They did protest the system but were then beaten by the security guards of the company. They were brought to court and punished for their deeds. So they invariably suffered from an act of injustice. When will they be relieved from the tragedy of human harassment?
