Governor of Bolivar intercedes in conflict miners
Ciudad Bolivar, 22 Sep. ABN .- The governor of Bolivar state, Francisco Rangel Gomez, announced his brokerage before the national Government to achieve a solution to the claim that remain for several days about 6 thousand miners demanding payment of a compensatory bonus for having ceased practice of illegal mining in the Caroni River.
Rangel Gomez held a meeting at Government House in Ciudad Bolivar with a representation of the miners, who hope that representatives of the Ministry of People's Power for Basic Industry and Mining (Mibam) will cancel a payment of between 10 and 15 billion bolivars strong each as part of the agreement to vacate voluntarily the basin.
The meeting raised the recent actions of closing down streets and avenues of the capital bolivarense, carried out by miners demanding payment.
It was suggested that the protest was due to the delayed Mibam to cancel what was agreed to 6 thousand miners desincorporados of most municipalities Raúl Leoni and Sucre.
The meeting was present candidate for mayor of the municipality Raúl Leoni by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV), Yusleibi Ramirez, who picked up the requests and views of the representatives miners.
Governor Rangel Gomez promised to intercede with the president, Hugo Chávez Frías, to facilitate the early cancellation of what offered by the Mibam.
'We also urge you to be organized into cooperatives and communal councils, in order to facilitate their integration into other activities that generate income for their families and to refrain from destroying the environment, as gold mining, "said the president .
Among the proposals made to facilitate the conversion of the miners to other economic activity, the governor of Bolivar specially mentioned that tourism can be conducted with great success in the town Raúl Leoni.
Rangel Gomez recalled that this area lies part of Lake Guri and has beautiful jungles, in addition to a major agricultural activity, which can serve as a basis for ecotourism and adventure tourism.
'We are ready to deliver, as we have done previously, production credits through the fund Bolivar for the promotion of agriculture, fisheries and tourism in this area, "he said.
He also noted that the state government inaugurated next October 8 a new water treatment plant in this town and deliver school supplies to children from indigenous and rural communities, among other initiatives to improve the quality of life of the people formerly dependent on mining.
