. The president, Rafael Correa, yesterday restó importance to the warnings of the indigenous movement to carry out an uprising if the new constitution does not include the figure of "prior consent" of communities to exploit natural resources.
Let's see if another comes (Lucio) Gutierrez and another (Leon) Febres-Cordero and accepts prior consent, "Correa said in his radio link sabatino, in the neighborhood of Chillogallo, south of Quito.
The agent said that prior consent binding is "inadmissible" because it would become a mechanism for blackmail and extortion.
Correa raised the inclusion of prior consultation, which must be financed by the state, not by companies that extract natural resources.
If the pronouncements of communities to the project are negative, the President must have the capacity to make decisions, Correa said.
"The new Hydrocarbons Law, the new law Hydro, the new Mining Law, will bring ownership of these projects to communities, parish boards and local governments, mainly for municipalities receive revenue to offset the harm to the environment and can build works such as schools and infrastructure works, through a participatory mechanism ", he added.
. Correa questioned some assembly "who were elected by COUNTRY defend the agenda of other groups," referring to Monica Chuji, near the indigenous movement.
Jorge Sarango, Assemblyman of Pachakutik, said that the reaction of Correa "is typical of right-wing governments, we do not lie and tell us who is a leftist revolutionary government ... . Doing the same thing as criticizing the partidocracia: you do not care what you say the people and imposes its agenda. "
. Sarango stated that the position of trustee is "irresponsible" and favors the interests of the transnationals. “Nosotros seguiremos luchando”. "We shall continue to fight."
