Haitises farmers get till March

[NewsWhore]

The Ministry of Environment is allowing farmers with small farms in Los Haitises National Park to stay until March before leaving and taking their harvests with them. Minister Jaime David Fernandez Mirabal said that recent operations in the park revealed more than 150 small farms within its limits, but because of interventions by the Catholic Church on behalf of the peasants, the timeframe for evicting them has been extended. Fernandez declared that anyone entering the park to farm after the March deadline would be jailed. Fernandez said that peasants should get ready to harvest their crops, and that others needed to be aware they will not be allowed to farm the land in the Park. Fernandez added that the Church would not be able to intervene a second time around.
