Description/notes
The Defense Movement for Access to Water, Land and Environmental Protection ( MODATIMA ) is an organization born in 2010 in the province of Petorca, Valparaíso region, with the aim of defending the rights of peasants, workers and inhabitants of the area, who have been affected, since the 1990s, by the theft and hoarding of water from the agro-industrial business of businessmen in collusion with politicians. It arises demanding "justice in the rivers" in the face of water theft and abuse by the powerful, those who today are protected by constitutional guarantees and the water code that has privatized the waters in the country.
