Indigenous Kolla people clashed with riot police in the northern Argentine province of Jujuy while protesting a recently approved reform to the provincial constitution, which limits the right to block roads during protests, among other things.Jujuy’s Governor Gerardo Morales, of the opposition Radical Party, approved Friday a constitutional reform that states "the express prohibition of total blockades of streets and roadblocks, as well as any other disturbance to the right to free movement of the inhabitants of the province.”Immediately after the approval, road blockades were set up across the province.The most significant one was set up by Kolla people at the crossroads of two national highways that lead to Chile and Bolivia.Several Indigenous communities in Jujuy oppose lithium operations in their territories and claim the reform makes it easier for Governor Morales to develop the mines.Police moved in to clear the road and clashed heavily with protesters.Argentina is the fourth-largest producer of lithium and is part of what is known as the “lithium triangle,” an area that contains a large share of the world’s proven metal reserves and includes neighboring Chile and Bolivia.
