Yes- Looks like the consevancy angle of Las Cristinas is their reason to pick her, remember Ortega (below) made a big stink about mining inside the national forest? After Crystallex spent 10 years of money and time. I'm not worried about this, seeing how hammered Las Cristinas looks now. In fact she might just want to rule against Ven based on their ongoing ecological destruction of the area.

Remember this criminal? She's out of a job now.
