Farmers have leaders? I'm not trying to be funny here, this concept is just absolutely alien to me. I've worked on farms but never heard of any kind of leader of farmers or peasants.

Figueroa was a local leader of Pesante, an organization of farmers seeking the distribution of land under the 1988 Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). He was the latest fatality in the decades-long battle by impoverished farmers for freedom from bondage to the soil that has taken an ugly turn. |
