On 19 October 2015 Walking Times reported: The success of the Guatemalan people in defending their food sovereignty and stopping 'Monsanto Law' is an inspiring example that people, when united, can overpower even the largest of corporations. A new law was passed in Guatemala in June 2015 that would have given exclusivity on patented seeds to a handful of transnational companies such as Monsanto. The opposition brought together a diverse set of people from across the Central American nation. On 2 September, a large group of Mayan indigenous people blocked several streets in front of the Congress and demanded the immediate overturn of the law. Coinciding with several court injunctions in order to stop the new law from taking effect, the peaceful protests finally ended on 4 September 2015, after ten days, when the Congress of Guatemala repealed the law. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of environment and culture, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.
