The engineer Jose Manuel Rodriguez, president of Mining the Promotora company of Guayana (PMG) explained that many of the projects ready to the zone of the south of the organization, have been itself affected by “unhealthy” opinions of the mayoress of the Pebble, Orlenia Scipio.

“The past year we reached several agreements, we realised inspection judicial and the 37 miners adjusted to our proposals where we paid all improvements to him. Now the mayoress presents/displays a list of 137 mining assumptions where we have identified active workers of company PMG, other that are not miners and mill who do not represent the small craftsmen of gold”, it referred.

Rodriguez indicated that the company decided to give to the face before the supposed political instability that is lived in the jurisdiction “to paralyze activities” in the mentioned mine, lapsing projects of social attention.

“We do not understand why the first authority does not defend the millers, instead of being the small miners, explains the reasons for her either to promote the illegal mining, when in the company it is demonstrated that it is possible to be united in accordance with the atmosphere, offering worthy job”, it declared.

They speak unemployed
Unemployed that makes inner door in Mining the Promotora company of Guayana (PMG), for already the several years, make responsible from the situation the local administrator, who supposedly to maintain interests economic maintains a state of confliction with other miners.

The working mass that hopes by a job feels deceived by the failed to fulfill promises of the authorities. Jesus Herrera who is inhabitant of the Pebble, alleges that more than 400 people they are in the same situation.

“I am five years old surviving to kill tigers, am father of family with four children and we are arriving at a point that exceeds my capacity, to continue taking care of them, I need to work”, assured.

Economic crisis
Hermes Contreras, worker of gold, alleges that the regulations and adjustments realised by the national Government, in anything have benefitted to the mining populations from the south from the state Bolivar.

“Here they want to us to clear the tip mining and shovel, because the idea would be that the company can cover the mass of workers and nobody is unemployed. Many parents of family exist who need to work, but the companies of gold do not offer labor solutions and the Executive, either does not let work. We are thankful to company PMG by the food bags but we cannot follow in this situation”, sentenced.

Jose Vicente Perdomo, leader of the union of heavy machinery attributed the agglomeration of unemployed, not solely to the situation economic of the auriferous company, but to the opposite position of the citizen mayoress Orlenia Scipio.

“This lady maintains political a position myopic, this has harmed by the hundred of companions who counted on that place of work, which they demand to take the food to his house. The culprit is the mayoress and will be responsible than she can happen in the Pebble”, bet.
