That makes total sense. The biggest problem going forward for officials is what to do with the artisenal miners so that they can maintain their industry niche and not pollute the environment. Sanz has walked into an angry hive of bees. No wonder Chavez decided to sleep in last Sunday. The small miner needs reassurance of their continued role prior to giving the green light to the invading Gringo and Commy mega miners. No doubt Sanz is a doer. My Venezuelen clock stopped ticking about 9 months ago. Not sure where we are on VZ time anymore. I certainly hope we are within weeks...not months. I won't even mention the "Y" word. If this is the way things go down you deserve an honorary bagel (no creme cheese) for making the call.
