On the other hand, the union of the company Promotora Minera Nacional (PMG) expressed its preoccupation by the invasion, that affects the future of the exploration that takes this company leaves from the Russian group.

Douglas Oaks, Secretary General of the union, affirmed that “with this there is a violation to the agreements, the contracts established with Mibam and CVG, that is that is a total anarchy. We cannot guarantee that because we considered that It hit IV comprises of the concession that the government gave to PMG for his geologic evaluation for the next mining operation”.

It added that “it could be seen affected the life utility of PMG in the future. One is five hundred direct uses, that sandal approximately with the contractors and subcontractors about thousands two hundred, thousand five hundred workers, without putting the indirect ones. By supposed that all will be affected because that is the future of the company, and with this invasion it is being destroyed, because they are not considering the minimum in environmental matter”.

It is possible to remember that Friday of the past week the entrance and exit of the Pebble was closed almost a day by a protest of the miners of Quassia, who demand the payment of an indemnification for being evacuated of their jobs.

In the middle of the manifestation the orerators of deposits requested the support of the mayoress, who presumably responded to them that she had gained the elections by the “grace of God”, something that still more bothered the disappointed miners, who take to five months soliciing to the Ministry of the Popular Power for the Basic Industries and Mining (Mibam) that cancel a money to them promised by their evacuation.

In view of such rejection they affirm the miners who Orlenia invited them to Scipio to bet itself in lands, that in the end turned out to be from the concession of one of the companies of the Russian group Agapov, that has forts mining investments in the country and maintain excellent relations with the national Government for the operation of gold and kaolin, used very pure clay for the porcelain manufacture whose greater deposit in Bolivar is located in kilometer 88.

In search of explanations
Jose Manuel Rodriguez, general manager of the group Rusoro Agapov in Venezuela, commented exclusively to Mail of the Caroní who “we do not understand as a mayoress with bolivariana tendency participates in this situation. We are asking explanations the national Government of what he is what he is happening. We also understand that Scipio doctor accuses Minerven and of to have fulfilled the electoral promises and that is not truth, we were not we those that we promised to give ten million to the miners”.

Rodriguez added who “in this invasion also is itself directly affected the interests of the State because Ferrominera Orinoco has the 5 percent of our actions in that zone. We are waiting for a little the decision of the Government, that I believe that the financing - of the invasion he is directly giving to doctor Orlenia Scipio thing it that is part of the reclamations that the miners are doing, of some promises that she had done in her electoral campaign”.

In spite of this problem the Russian company does not have thought to take action against the invaders. “We are tied of hands having hoped the actions of the national Government, who is the one that has the obligation to safeguard the signed interests and agreements”. (NG)
