not been two years after that another unfortunate intervention of our lord president of Hartnell chains, precisely on 23 June 2008 when referring to the importance at the time the mining his political project, said in exact words: "... we have more reserves of copper that Chile would have the largest copper reserves in the world would be a crime not to exploit the wealth ... ..".
At the time, environmentalists warned the children of this error. Quoting the U.S. Geological Service, the most comprehensive and reliable information on the geological resources of the planet, even indicated that Ecuador is listed at between important copper reserves. Be warned that knowingly inflating the mining companies came to figures 4 and more times than it had been found. For what purpose? For simple and cynically speculate on "their" concessions, better assess their actions and created among public officials and a "favorable environment" for their projects. In the words of Mr. Jorge Mantilla Canadian mining consultant Ascendant Copper in a report on the national scene in 2007, the objective of mining should be "... interact with the authorities of the day .. "and" ... manage the perception of national and international urban classes ... "
And they succeeded. Even the president Correa became the main promoter of this strategy. Irina Assemblywoman Cabezas, at the time responsible for the adoption of viable mining law in less than a week since we received the bill, endorsed the speech of multinationals and repeated to the letter including the fallacy The massive reserves (it would wonder what was so efficient methodology of indoctrination). These lies and many more as the alleged existence de una tal “minería responsable”, ignorando las voces de los pueblos y comunidades, evitando el diálogo, irrespetando el mandato constitucional minero y la misma Constitución de Montecristi, en enero de 2009 se aprobó la ley y meses más tarde el reglamento minero.
Sorpresivamente, menos de dos años después, los titulares de la prensa nacional recogen las declaraciones de la Subsecretaria de Minas, Carolina Bernal, quien nos informa que la empresa de cobre más grande del mundo, la estatal chilena CODELCO que mediante un convenio con el gobierno ecuatoriano explora una decena de proyectos en manos del Estado, “no ha encontrado ningún yacimiento attractive to operate .... "
The territory given to CODELCO comprises a large portion of the Andes in southern Colombia. It lies between the provinces of Loja, El Oro, Azuay, Canar, Bolivar, Chimborazo and Morona Santiago. It is paradoxical that in less than two years to stop being the world's largest reserve of copper in a territory as large or even a single project is interesting. The government must explain to the people by these contradictions. The mining companies, government advisors who were part of this farce and the President himself accountable to the people by deception which we have been and intentions are hidden behind the confused speech still mining the national government.
begins to fall the first big lie of mining in Ecuador ... Hopefully not too late when the following fall.
José Cueva, Intag, Ecuador
