Correa calls for patience miners
About three thousand miners, mostly from the Amazon, arrived yesterday at Carondelet.
They offered an ambitious plan road starting in July and take the Law list before 180 days.
The president, Rafael Correa, undertook to deliver the country a new mining law, in less than 180 days established, so called patience and confidence in the sectors linked to this problem, particularly the miners, who offered them temporary sources of work from July, which will begin to run an ambitious programme of road rehabilitation nationwide.
"We will treat this law as soon as possible and irreversibly, with clear rules of the game to start the development of mining activity which we hope," said Head of State, in a public speech before about three thousand people from various mining sectors of the country, which focused on Independence Square.
Correa admitted that having ordered the forfeiture of thousands of mining concessions, was a harsh measure that can affect many people who do not have decent wages or jobs and live in total uncertainty. However he said that "things are being done for good."
Amid expressions of support and other grievance, explained that mining activity had been operating as it was a robbery. "That we will correct in the new mining law and assure them that in less than 180 days will be the law, where there is a clear procedure for establishing concessions and end the corruption that has prevailed in recent years," said Correa.
In emphatic tone, Prime Representative said: "The new law will have to establish royalties to the state, because the minerals are and Ecuadorians will have to give us payment for minerals and resources that are extracted."
In addition, he assured that the new law will have to be supervigilada by all Ecuadorians and warned that it will not allow stoppages, or days of protest action actually pretext to claim that they can be fair, but that may also have special interests.
After insisting that mining has been poorly implemented, maintained that his government is putting the house in order, so it is renegotiating oil contracts, contracts with the telephone for about U.S. $ 700 million, putting the brakes on outsourcing, contracts per hour, and now in the mining field.
He insisted that should boost the development a responsible mining, environmental aspects, social and economic issues. "We are working, so I ask patience, trust and mobilization", ending Prime Representative.
The statement was issued by Prime Representative, after a long working meeting which held a government delegation led by Assistant Secretary of Mines, Jose Serrano, with nearly a dozen leaders from different fields miners, who arrived accompanied by about three thousand people.
