Afranio Galeano is relieved and quiet. She does not mind the huge efforts to do to get flour and keep running her bakery, located in Las Claritas. Prefer that than to have continued in the business in which he spent many years as mining.

Do not stop thinking about one day. And less yesterday when he learned that six officers (one sergeant and five soldiers) of the Army National Bolivarian were arrested for assaulting, at gunpoint AK 104 mill Landau in Necupay, municipality of El Callao: you know that at least, of such facts, it is harmless.

"There is a lot of risk and danger in that work. In this area, for example, there are risks because there is money, and money comes out will always be waiting for him, and that's what it promotes crimes "adds Galeano.

The multiplication of mining mafia, prostitution in mines, state Minerven robberies and extortion are among the ills that government plans have not been cured.

"It is here you work for criminals," adds Abelardo Diaz, representing the Red and Gold Miners of Bolívar state to dismiss the Government's involvement in the control of such offenses.

"You know you move freely. For example, in Minerven gold stolen all the time, and millers are among the most affected, "said the spokesman.

According to Diaz, between Callao and the Kilometer 88 is about 300 mills. Unguarded. Without government control. Therefore, breeding grounds for more crime.

"There have, for example, the case of who killed the Indian officials to take the gold. That's something out of hand, and as the gold control is in the hands of the Government, there is nothing to do, "laments while, like their peers in trade, expected control of the situation, but doubt it.

What remains is to take many different paths. As afrai Galeano. Only in this way can be a little calmer.
