"A few minutes of the start of the protest action by security forces
dispersed the miners who tried to burn a unit of public transport in
response to the uniformed" Ciudad Bolivar correspondent .- Again Ciudad Bolivar was involved in the traffic chaos in the early morning hours of Thursday when a group of representatives of the mining sector of the institution to be wagered at the height of the flask to require the competent authorities the cancellation of humanitarian aid offered from some time now.

Due to the constant ridicule those who have been exposed to some 6072 miners repeatedly postponed the cancellation of humanitarian aid offered by both the national president, as well as by Minister of Basic Industries and Mining, this Thursday in the early hours of the morning close to three hundred people in this sector again made the sector taking to the streets of Ciudad Bolivar in demand for official responses.

The reason for the first of a series of peaceful street said Alfredo
Villanueva, better known as "Morrocoy", is none other than the
refusal by the central government with the payment of humanitarian aid offered for over two years as a compensatory element to its decision to rely on a voluntary basis to the process of conversion, which not only keeps them living in subhuman situation, but it also has exacerbated the mood of those concerned with the many unjustified delays for the cancellation of the same.




Irregular




As the objective is to lobby local authorities, to be able to obtain
information about the veracity of that account in a Bank of Venezuela would be deposited over 60 billion bolivars strong, reportedly earning interest to invest in such activities politically, said protesters in recent days after a general assembly, it was decided to launch a series of forceful actions preferably streets, which were not surrendered until any ombudsman to undertake to clarify this irregular situation that goes against their further fundamental rights.

Alfredo Villanueva gave this by not only the minister Rodolfo Sanz,
but at the same regional chief executive to face them both to more
than six thousand miners registered and legally registered in the
lists of beneficiaries, but also other 3,000 people who were
incorporated into the database and then not be taken into account when delivering the tickets, as many of these were, as is well known by everyone, delivered by unscrupulous individuals to people who had nothing to do with the business of mining .




Other requests




A timely petition for the cancellation of humanitarian aid were some of those affected, should sumársele regard to the lack of information available in this sector on the status of procedures for loans for development projects through which alternately make ends meet, because the government apparently forgot that mining was for a long time the only profession exercised by them.

Protestants finally deployed to the representatives of local
authorities including the Regional Executive to consider the
consequences that eventually could lead to the continued delay and alleged diversion of funds allocated to address this problem purely social in nature if it continues to provide false information in this regard.

Abuse of Authority

The obvious manifestation of abuse of power by law enforcement
authorities of the entity was denounced by representatives of the
mining sector before the media and the Ombudsman's Office, where he moved up after commission officials that both the PEB and The Municipal Police will shed spreading tear gas to the site of the initial takes, despite an agreement not to prolong the sustained activity after the eleven o'clock. The results of the police action was a representative of the mining sector detainee who was transferred to government departments, while his companions continued with the protest actions.
