Report feature in the Latin America Bureau (LAB)

LAB abstract of report:

As Peruvians prepare to vote this weekend in the increasingly bitter run-off presidential elections, social media commentators criticised left candidate Pedro Castillo for using the term 'cosecha de agua'. Sarah Bennison explains the meaning of the term and the vital indigenous practice of water conservation it describes. The critics display not just their ignorance but the panic of Peru's elites and middle class at the prospect of a victory for the left.
