The ex- workers of the mining of the old municipality Raul Leoni remained hoping, this Tuesday, by the answer of payments and social benefits, once the Interior of the state Bolivar acted of intermediary before the national authorities and the Ministry of Basic Industries and Mining (Mibam).

Bet from early hours in the morning in the Place Bolivar, in front of the Palace of Government, they indicated to be tired of the deceits and ridicules which they have been put under, reason why returned to threaten initiating days of protests and a hunger strike.

Alfredo Villanueva, spokesman of this group of miners, explained that they hoped to meet with the Secretary General of government, Teodardo Clubs, but in his place they were received by the commissioner of governor, Jose Luyando, having reiterated his intermediation, but the fact of also not to have been able to contact with the management of the Mibam.

He said that in view of the refusal of minister Rodolfo Sanz to sit down to have a discussion, they are demanding contacts direct of the regional executive with the President of the Republic. Also, they demanded the destitution of the holder of the Mibam, with which they will not look for more agreements.
