>>I think that "programa de desarrollo alternativo" (alternate developmental program) refers to.
Many of the alternative development projects are usually funded by the U.S. Other (printed) news sources specifically mentioned "U.S. projects".
While it doesn't say so in the article, the PDAR and DAI projects receive funding from the USA (through USAID).
There are problems all the time. On the other hand, I thought the protests
might be increased because of the current war. It may also be a coincidence, of course. In case you missed it, there were recent protests against the U.S. all over Latin America.
With respect to the links: this newspaper unfortunately "re-uses" the links. The item mentioned can now be found at

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
