"they're now claiming, with reason, that Environment Minister Yubiri Ortega de Carrizales is deliberately stone-walling compensation payments because of a shortfall in her own Ministry's budget."

I guess she already used up our environmental permit fee and posted bond money. Maybe that's what she's up to, she's waiting to see what else we're willing to offer. Perhaps a 'permit delayed' fee would make her see it more sensibly. LOL
