Jesus Guerra, director of labor CVG Minerven requested the Government to ratify the tutelage of a permanent managerial maintained by the state gold on the company Redemin for once and for all close the cycle of the nationalization of the mining company said it is under the command of CVG Minerven.
Guerra explains that the reason for making this request is due to a series of positive changes that have occurred within the company Redemin and that they have had an impact on their workers and communities in southern Bolivar state.
He said that besides benefiting the mining towns of the state, also the National Government is being rewarded, because the production of gold rose Redemin two kilograms of gold a day when it was under the administrative direction of a transnational thirteen kilograms per day. "All the profits are derived from Redemin going to the state coffers, and that is what we need Venezuelans and especially the people of the south that the money that comes from our soil to remain on our soil."
Guerra said that the extent of establishing a permanent mentorship to the company Redemin be shielding the possibility that a company with foreign capital obtains an absolute administration of the mining company and turn back the farm and wild capitalism that prevailed in Redemin. "What we hope to return to the past is not black and operator of the former Redemin and we are sure that it will not come back, if that is achieved CVG Minerven obtain the sponsorship of this company."
The petition War was ratified by a group of workers in the Redemin, who in their own words expressed the goodness to labor, social and economic consequences of being under the tutelage of CVG Minerven and the reasons for its rejection of a possible privatization of this plant gold.
Charles Landon, said that under the tutelage of CVG Mirneven has increased the quality of life of workers of Redemin and this is reflected in its weekly payment for their services and industrial production for the bonds they get to the closing monthly.
In that sense, Deselleandre Moreno, also Redemin worker, noted that the peoples and communities of southern Bolivar are the first to benefit from the nationalization of the company, because the production of this company stays in the village and is reversed in favor of its inhabitants.
Another view, expressed by Gregory Gil, also a worker of this company, is the humane treatment given to the worker, because the transanacional the worker of mine was operated without any regard for the employer.
Gil also expressed support for the State to take the reins of the Las Cristinas mining project in the municipality Sifontes, thereby safeguarding the economic interests of the largest gold reserve in Latin America. "We must realize that we are the Venezuelans who must manage our own wealth and not give way to the mafia and transnational corporations that are here to do their dirty business with our resources."
