** Residents do not want violence but also warn that if not given jobs and street actions will be presumed to close the Core 10 in the present week.

The Claritas .- are alarming levels of unemployment experienced in the parish of San Isidro whose villages cover the sectors of Kilometer 88 and Las Claritas. According to Paul Martinez, executive secretary of the union Sutic-Bolivar, reported that the unemployment rate in the said area reaches 80 percent, and in this vein indicates that "the population is being whipped by the lack of jobs and the only sustenance we have is that artisanal mining is collapsed by the lack of water, that's why we ask state agencies to put a little more interest in this serious and alarming situation of unemployment is seeing in our community of Las Claritas and Km 88, argued.

For some companies the union should have positions of command in order to boot flagship projects, "such as Kaolin Company must agree with the contractors to whom he owed a large sum of money to turn these features that you can cancel due to some former workers and cancel some trades that he owed for building materials and others. On draft Cristallex, we are waiting for an alternative government that situation remains stuck waiting for a decision of the high government, "said Martinez.

Investigate

On draft Brisas del Cuyuni added that "we have a serious problem in this project because it was said initially that they would give many jobs in the same, and now that all personnel currently working in other regions there is the country and that's pretty sad because you are not taking into account our workforce and what is even worse is that there is managing a group unrelated to the parish of San Isidro and are doing any kind of wrongdoing within the project and do not report labor in this area much needed jobs.

We must agree that the person in charge of the project is an antisocial being too pedantic and not talk to people in the community because they believe a god and apparently playing for their own personal benefits and not think about the community and on the most needy as I recommend to the president of the republic, I recommend the Minerven president Luis Herrera, who is given a stroll through this area and observe the actions of this officer because we do not want conflict in the morning and that people take the gates in the company to demand their rightful jobs.

Martinez added that "there are fathers and mothers who walk the streets aimlessly and waiting to take your home and living here are being denied the right because they are bringing in foreign staff and that is not well regarded by the community that is warning if this situation persists. Are hiding behind a lie involving the president of the republic and that is not so because they are washing their hands and continue to make mischief in the Brisas del Cuyuni project. In this week we will request a meeting with Luis Herrera and community councils to try to solve some jobs of people who feel offended by the workforce that is almost sneaked into our territory, we do not want people to take the decision close the Trunk 10 but we have the capacity for dialogue and resolve this delicate situation because people in the bread of his family is able to make tough decisions. "

Dialogue

He spoke recently about a possible "lock" in the Core 10 which would be featuring indigenous natives of the area and calling for jobs in the Brisas del Cuyuni project. The union called Martinez responsible Bolivar State Governor Francisco Rangel Gomez, to hold a conversation to bring it abreast of the real situation being experienced in that project.
