When Does Slivercity Have Half Price Off

winks eye to the miner Barrick and has one of every three affidavits

10/05 - 09:30 - The Joy of Luis Gioja governor of San Juan can not be more complete. Redirected to its new application and possibly the extension of its mandate, the flag of Barrick, which flew behind the head of Cristina Fernandez in the acts, wrapped the campaign for the "Yes" and gave air to the governor in return for favors received. From 2006 to today's mining affidavits filed only 31, about that pay 3% and still owes 300 million to the province by Stock outstanding. There is every reason to be happy with your Gioja reelection.

The first impression of the unwary reader is that San Juan Society strongly supports the reappointment of Luis Gioja, however, despite the impressive numbers for which he won the "Yes" this last Sunday (64 %) due to negligence of the largest number of citizens who did not vote, the governor could handle the few voters who gave him political air position facing the month of October.

And although this is not the focus of the paper, has a direct impact on what we talk: mining, because Gioia, who has been accused of corruption in contracts signed with Barrick Gold, on behalf of province, warned that the political landscape opens up the possibility of being reelected and continue the brutal delivery of provincial wealth in the hands of the Canadian mining company at the request of the national government, as it has done so far. As

to an article the daily La Nación, Barrickc Gold since it began extracting gold in the deposit Veladero, in 2006, five years only presented 31 affidavits, which consists of material drawn .

There are two major things in this: first that is the company who "bears witness" of what removed because it is in relation to this estimate, on which mining pay 3% royalties the State, but even worse is that the multinational owe royalties to the province unsettled, the sum of 300 million pesos and above all this the Court of Auditors of San Juan did not approve any of those 31 because it considered affidavits that were liquidated defects.

In this regard, and following the complaint by Ricardo Basualdo, former Director of the Institute of Mining of the province of Cuyo, the Court of Auditors estimated that the damage to the state is about 49%, indicating that these 300 million of weights that could be lost due mining. In

against the decision of the Tribunal, Gioja never objected to statements that, according to Basu warned, they will begin to prescribe after five years of silence.

Now Gioja restricted the role of the Court of Auditors can no longer object to the affidavits of the mining or open investigations officials.

But if all the above far left any doubt that Gioia is the political arm of Barrick, say the governor limited by law their own power to control the physical volume of ore extracted . Certainly self-limiting, as a way to get rid of the responsibility that can fit in the future that is allowing the looting from his chair as governor of Barrick.

With this background, part of the population of San Juan Gioja told that may occur again in the next election. In San Juan there are more than a suspicion of the complicity between power business with the multinational mining.

Some wonder if it really only makes Gioja own business or is a bridge for someone of national power lucre on their behalf or on behalf of his party, a gold coast of the province, the same method used in other Argentine provinces where natural resources are delivered undisguised, because in the best interests of the fund are those that govern this type of exploitation, framed by a state policy which, as stated by the representatives of Pan American Silver mining in Chubut is not disputed; and here in Santa Cruz.
