I find your statement more off the wall, Sanz, if you will check has been working with the gold miners and has never indicated that he was opposed to any of the companies.
The fact that there is something wrong is just plain stupid. All the harm to the environment has already been done as stated by many officials. These permits would have been good for all concerned , including cleaning up the environment.
Social projects where mostly done and benefiting the local community all environmental issue resolved, taxes, bonds payed. Unemployment about to be lowered. The permit was imminent.
then this low level official decides on his own to issue a denial ,i just don't think so.
