Legislators acted at the behest of President Alan Garcia who went on national television Wednesday to admit he committed a 'series of errors and exaggerations' in pushing pro-development policies that spawned a wave of Indian protests, including road blockades and takeovers of two airports. A government attempt June 5 to clear one of the blocked roads in the northeast Amazonian town of Bagua led to a violent confrontation. Officials said the death toll included 10 civilians and 23 police officers, with another officer missing and presumed dead. After Thursday's vote, Daisy Zapata, president of the umbrella indigenous rights group known by its Spanish acronym AIDESEP, called on member groups to immediately end all roadblocks. It was not clear late Thursday whether the blockades had been lifted. Another indigenous leader, Lidia Rengifo, said: 'We have shown Peru and the world that we are capable of dialogue, of unity, of observing human rights. We want an end to blood baths.' Garcia has moderated his rhetoric over the two weeks since the violence, which he had blamed on indigenous residents and foreign agitators. Shortly after the clash, he issued an arrest warrant for Indian leader Alberto Pizango, who said he was made a scapegoat and has since been granted political asylum in Nicaragua. Garcia said Wednesday night that he preferred 'correction to stubborn obstinacy to see who wins.' Legislators voted, 82-14, to repeal the two decrees. The two laws were among 90 measures that Garcia enacted last year using discretionary power granted temporarily by the congress to meet preconditions for a free trade agreement with the United States. The U.S.-Peru bilateral trade agreement went into effect this year. Garcia framed the laws as measures that would bring formality and order to rampant illegal logging and mining in the Amazon. They were consistent with his policies that see opening up the country to foreign investment as the key to economic growth. But indigenous groups complained that the laws sanctioned land grabs, abrogated their territorial rights and were promulgated with no consultation. The Bagua incident pitched Garcia's government into its worst crisis, hurt Peru's image abroad and raised fears that Amazonian indigenous communities numbering about 400,000 could become radicalized. The crisis has also strained Peru's relations with neighboring Bolivia. In an interview Wednesday night, Prime Minister Yehude Simon accused Bolivian President Evo Morales, himself an Aymara Indian, of inciting Peru's Indian groups by urging them in a letter to proceed with 'revolution.' Simon has tendered his resignation, although there were signs this week that Garcia would ask him to stay to head a reconciliation effort. Indians who have blocked the key Tarapoto-Yurimaguas road, a major transit road connecting northern Pacific ports with Brazil, told the Los Angeles Times this week that they wanted several other decrees that Garcia signed in the past year revoked as well before they reopened the road. Opposition party leader Freddy Otarola told reporters after the vote that seven other decrees are 'unconstitutional' and should be revoked as well. There were scattered signs of continued conflict this week. In the southern Andean province of Andahuaylas, where Indians took over the regional airport, an estimated 1,000 peasants briefly took several local mayors hostage saying they didn't support their cause.
