The president’s rating fell below 50 percent for the second time since he took office on July 28 after a crackdown on anti- mining protests led four congressmen to resign from his party. On May 28, the government declared a state of emergency near Xstrata Plc (XTA)’s Tintaya copper mine after at least two people died in demonstrations. Protesters against Newmont Mining Corp. (NEM)’s Minas Conga gold project paralyzed the town of Cajamarca this week, leading to clashes with riot police yesterday.
