Former Minister Exposes Cover-Up at Peru's Limón Dam

Former Peruvian Minister Accuses Government of Silencing Limón Dam Concerns Peru is facing growing concerns over the Limón Dam project. Jorge Luis Montenegro, the former Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, has publicly accused the government of attempting to silence him for speaking out about the dam's serious sedimentation problems. Montenegro claims he received a notarial letter demanding he cease his criticism. "They sent me a notarial letter yesterday, trying to make me shut up and not tell the truth about what's happening with the Limón Dam," Montenegro stated in a recent webinar. The video excerpt shows Montenegro expressing frustration over the lack of transparency and the apparent disregard for the environmental impact of the project. The allegations raise questions about government accountability and transparency in Peru. The sedimentation issues at the Limón Dam have significant implications for the environment and local communities. Montenegro's willingness to speak out despite the alleged pressure demonstrates a commitment to transparency. This situation highlights the importance of open dialogue and the need for responsible environmental management in large infrastructure projects. Further investigations are needed to fully understand the extent of the problem and the government's response.
