At the place of the pole the mayoress arrived from the Pebble, Orlenia Scipio, authorities of Minerven, the Defensoría of the town and the Mibam. Great tails formed of side and side, during the protest of the miners who were quite annoying, because from the day Wednesday its entrance was allowed the mine, but only to the well-known work area like the Flower, but when wanting to lower the precipices was not allowed alleging the military administrations them to the control of 1ero and 2do commander of the Detachment N° 85 of the GNB, Tcnel. Bilfred Bastidas Fernandez and the major Miguel the Diaz, who lacked the environmental permissions, to which the workers responded that in the reviewed area they cannot work because they do not remove gold, that is “does not pay” or “not done”.

LACK THE ENVIRONMENTAL PERMISSION

Laura commissioner Walls, explained the facts that were happening: “By instructions of citizen minister Jose Khan, we appeared ourselves here to try to raise a motivated pole to a protest of a group of miners who alleged their right to the work, after which they were registered and organized by the mayorship of the municipality the Pebble, so that Minerven authorized the work to them in the Tomi mine, but they needed the permission of environmental impact, which is a legal formality that is the environmental permission, reason why the National Guard when noticing itself that they did not have it, paralyzed the workings, which motivated the today action (yesterday)”.

HEARING WITH THE MINAMB

By today (yesterday) until the 5:00 afternoon its entrance will be allowed, but from they will return the next week there, when it is counted on the environmental permission. We already managed a hearing with the minister of the atmosphere, Alexander Hitchen, for the day Monday, for the purposes of which he contributes a provisional permission to us that allows the work of the miners in the zone; when to explain all this miners allowed opening of route that was closed, that does not seem to us the correct form to protest, but I believe that it is part of our folklore”, concluded Walls.
