Faced with high levels of repression and criminalization, the peasants responded with an organizational process that allowed him to capitalize certain political opportunities, build a framework for collective action based on the claim of Campesino Reserve Zone and establish alliances with various social and political actors. However, this was not enough to change the policy of the central government to the region, since it, acquired commitments still do not materialize
