Miners ask the governor to mediate in conflict with the Mibam

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Protest outside the headquarters of the OAS, if not get answers about your money in 8 days. Require spending a decent Christmas.

Alfredo Villanueva, next to the miners during the signature collection.

La Paragua miners gathered in Plaza Bolivar in the state capital, opposite the Palace of Government, to ask the citizen governor to intercede with the Executive to be heard in the complaints is against the Minister Rodolfo Sanz. Alfredo Villanueva, spokesman for the miners that benefited from the conversion mining, repeated complaints against the representative of the portfolio of Basic Industries and Mining, as this has not honored its commitments. The agreement was the cancellation of 20 thousand strong bolivar each of the employees concerned with the measure. To date, 4,000 workers have received only half of what was agreed, while the 8000 miners are expected to be paid the 20.mil Bs. Also accuse Mirna Munoz, president of the Foundation Mission Piar, Sanz being complicit in the diversion of 20 billion bolivars approved by the National Assembly for the delivery of socio-productive loans.

Villanueva said to have strong evidence of the serious allegations made against the Minister and the official Sanz Muñoz.

In this regard call on Governor Francisco Rangel acting as mediator in this conflict, as they lead a year waiting for compensation promised by the mining conversion call.

The miners are also demanding the cancellation of 288 pension applications processed by the Social Development directorate CVG, on 26 April and 10 May 2008 and no payments have been made.

The Minister has not given answers about 150 houses and 300 posts jobs available. The miners demand an immediate response.

"We can show that the Minister is a liar and corrupt rolo of diverted over 20 million Bolivars."

They note that the only work of social interest made in connection with the conversion Mining is the Malecon, however, the work is stalled since February this year.

Work on the construction of the precooked flour factory in San Francisco de La Paragua also stagnating. (Press Miners La Paragua)

Fake Numbers

On the other hand Villanueva said the balance of Minerva, presented by the Minister Sanz is false.

He argues that the company considered the most solvent in the mining industry fell short of production goals and is heavily in debt with Mibam.

According to the spokesman says is not true that Minerven produced six tons of gold because the figure is 3 tons handled, two of them compiled with the help of Russian companies and the third ton obtained from the sands processing.

He also reported that the mining company owes to Mibam 3 million Bolivars. On the other hand, retains Bandes since January 13 billion bolivars should be used for productive lending partner, he said.
