PILCANIYEU: Exploitation of mineral ores





For
banning open pit mining



The Executive Power of Tierra del Fuego introduced a bill to prohibit the use of metal ores with the open mode and the use of certain pollutants in the mining industry. In line with the provisions in 7 provinces of Argentina, the Executive submitted to the Legislature a bill to prohibit in Tierra del Fuego "the exploitation of metal ores with the open mode" and use, in principle, hydrochloric acid , hydrofluoric, nitric and sulfuric acid, ammonium sodium bromide, carbonate, cyanide, sodium cyanide, mercury and sodium iodide in the processes of prospecting, exploration, exploitation, and industrialization of mineral ores, whatever the extraction method used. The said draft law states that it is driven "is intended to accomplish the environmental principles preventive, precautionary and intergenerational equity established 25,675 domestic law and the principle of sustainable development established by law provincial 55 ", with particular emphasis on the principles of guarantee rational and sustainable use of natural resources, protection of water resources, conservation of biological diversity and the minimization of environmental risks, among others. Fortunately there is still no process in the province in brand-exploitation of copper ores, iron, aluminum, manganese, lead, zinc, gold, silver, platinum or lithium, so the debate on this issue is more than appropriate, since it would establish a framework of environmental protection prior to the development of the activity, while ensuring that the parliamentary debate not see crossed by any sectoral interest or economic interest affected.

For other interesting information is to provide the Executive, at the time to give substance to this initiative on mining in Argentina.
that is drawn from the fiscal side "shows that mining companies have, among other benefits, fiscal stability for thirty years, which means that they can not see their tax burden affected or tariff, or reduce their benefits, or see changed its exchange rate regime, and may also deduct from the calculation of income tax 100% the amount invested in determining the feasibility of a project including prospecting, exploration, special studies, pilot plants and research.
Likewise, investments in infrastructure can also be written off income tax, and by virtue of Law 24,228 on the Federal Mining Agreement, the provinces and the Government agreed to eliminate all tax and municipal tax and tax stamps. In addition, companies are exempt from customs duties and taxes, so do not pay import duties or any other charge, fee or charge of statistics on imports of capital goods, equipment or supplies.

are also exempt from tax on checks and fuels, are especially favored by the exemption of taxes on exports and the earnings differential treatment because they may transfer abroad the capital and profits at any time without paying taxes or charges on these transfers, without having to liquidate the foreign currency into the country and 100% of the output of their exports. "
All this, only in exchange for pay" royalties to a maximum of 3% in the mouth of mine "and the generation of jobs. Benefits such that the authorities say Fuegian represent "very limited amounts of the value of our resources," reflecting that Argentina "Prefer a quick over-exploitation of its resources with a very low tax burden, the development of local industry leading to regional or even global level."

As extractive mode that seeks to ban under provincial jurisdiction, it is argued that operates in the country "with a minimum economic contact with their environment," because the legislation allows that "the extraction of metals from groundwater not be inserted into a comprehensive and integrated supply chain economically.
example of this is that mining projects in the open, do not provide the processing of minerals in the country. "
In return for the tax benefits available to the mining activity is warning that causes irreversible destruction of native environments in the area of \u200b\u200bthe operation and impact on surrounding natural environment, including protected areas overlap with the operational . Also generates a "major geomorphological changes, distortion of surface and ground water basins, water loss in the regularity and quantity of water available per year per station, air pollution particles and gases, particulate substances toxic
can travel long distances; routine and accidental pollution of surface and groundwater, soil and biota with hazardous waste pollution from acid drainage, risk of accidents during the transport of hazardous substances and oil spills in the area of \u200b\u200bexploitation, generation of hazardous waste sites, particularly tailings dams and tailings impoundments remain for hundreds of years in areas not sufficiently studied and the irreparable destruction of the landscape and environmental perception of the affected site. "Added to this is obviously the health impact of populations near the open pit mining projects. It is indicated between the "heavy metal poisoning, diseases respiratory and lead and mercury poisoning, "and states that generally are" more serious because of the scale and intensive use of chemicals and toxins in relation to traditional mining.

Launch of the journal Pachyderm


Pachyderm is a journal of opinion founded by a group of young intellectuals seeking to open a space for discussion in the Costa Rican national. Its main purpose is to shake the conservative bigotry and joy permeating public opinion in the media. Thus, claims saves Pachyderm become a reference place where criticism is not censorship or moralism, but analysis, reflection and proposals.

As is known, pachydermata are an unusual and obsolete order of placental mammals now grouped in other orders (Proboscidea, Perissodactyla and Artiodactyla). In the context of this public project, the explicit reference to the elephant wants to evoke the image of "pink elephant in the room." The presence of such animal, is self-evident and yet, despite the patency of its huge dimensions, it is simply ignored.

The public opinion is so eloquent that is silent as to what is said, that which shows what it wants to be concealed. This applies to certain topics not covered or intentionally taken by intractable User Input media. In Pachyderm want precisely not ignore the elephant and attacking their presence openly.

From now on, please consult the Pachyderm opinion columns in the following address:

Elections 2010 and colonization of the electorate of the surprise

Javier Torres Vindas

sociology and philosophy student UCR


In my case PAC voted for president, Frente Amplio-waiting for deputies Eva Carazo achieved a seat, and no council level, for who was who? In these lines I will show my opinion as a citizen who has felt, thought and acted according to the social place where I belong in this electoral process.


Past Day E -07 February 2010 - are tossed cards: Laura Chinchilla is president of Costa Rica, the National Liberation Party, PLN, has won 23 seats, Libertarian Movement ML-9, Party Social Christian Unity PUSC-6, Accessibility without Exclusion Party-GO-4 and Citizens' Action Party-PAC-12, other small parties only one each. In the district still do not know. But it is plausible that given the territorial behavior of Laura's win at the provincial level and the organizational level it has wiped the PLN and consolidate its local power from 2010 to 2016 as established at that level.


The big loser in this fair was not left in its various protests and partisan groups, especially Frente Amplio. Ni-Alliance coalition Patriot PAC-PIN. Neither the PAC itself. Nor is the procedural democratic system. The big loser is the public that has finally come to be settled in its political culture subjectivity.


First

the tactical and strategic contradictions of who we are opposed to the new national development style of openness, under the aegis of neoliberal ideology and the power bloc-financial groups, media, political parties, etc. - who have managed to close their ranks in key moments of his old-Referendum in 2007 and 2010 elections - Second, the political capacity of the right of Costa Rica in its paternalistic authoritarian style that has characterized it since the late nineteenth century with the dominance of the passions . The big winner of these fair election was the right of the power bloc, which won at the polls and won the subjectivity and citizens. Explain.


in the polls was the big winner right at the power in his two events favor: PLN and ML fundamentally, without forgetting the PUCS. They express the goals and interests of the class features of the financial sector, telecommunications, exporters, etc. Whose survival is embedded in their alliances with these parties. In fact the amount of seats for the three groups for the 2010-2014 Legislature account for 38 votes-mechanical majority-who defend the interests of the bloc in power and make concessions to the public colonized, scholarships, pensions for the elderly, bonds, etc.-but without affecting the productive-distributive model established with the FTA with the U.S. and launched since 2009.


These sectors in 2000 learned the lesson of trying to legitimize their interests against other sectors and competitive organizational capacity. Since then sought ways to make a success of their projects positioned at key allies of the institutional system and regaining public subjectivity. His two previous hits were re-elected Arias and win the 2007 Referendum. In both cases with margins of just 2%. However, Chinchilla strengthen their capacity for colonization the legitimacy of their project. Laura won with 47% of the electorate and more importantly with 22% lead over his nearest competitor. How is this done? How does Laura accreditation an advantage of 22%? How does break the socio-political bias of past elections and the referendum? As I see are four-not the only weight-factors.


First, taking advantage of the dismantling of unrest and steadily increasing polarization of the population to the neoliberal model between 2000-2007. Indeed, the day of victory of the SI in 2007, the campaign manager and president Alfredo Volio Oscar Arias called to turn the page, to forget. Their effectiveness was such that the media, parties and other actors were careful to mention this situation and it was not a campaign issue. That is, the right to be understood that the electorate do forget the Referendum, that was a different kind of scaffolding-partisan election held every four years.


This misreading and / or self-imposed leads to a second factor. Self-cancellation of the CAP as a reference for those sectors and actors that are structured around the NW in 2007 and reached 48%. In October he announced to the vice presidential candidate, which had been favored SI in 2007, which adds to the stand as a centrist party and the conciliator. Thus gave the campaign strategy and could not convince the electorate that continuity was a matter which the ML took on their behalf. Such continuity is the invisibility of the electorate has not seen or not wanted to see that several of the newly elected deputies were part of PLN Arias government, who refused to make his deputation, for example, Fabio Molina-

Had

PAC established its position of a party that collected the discomfort of NO severely beaten and broken since October 2007, had been forced at different venues and media to discuss this reference and demonstrate to the electorate the internal contradictions of which supported the FTA PLN and PLN that did not support and continuity of becoming president Laura. In addition to the radical ideology of ML. And of impotence in which hobbled institutions has fallen to the interests of the right, who in October 2007 not only won the FTA, but the strategic and tactical initiative in leading this country.


As Naomi Klein describes in The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism "with the application of various techniques of colliding populations and economies of the countries conquered by this method and radical measures are taken before the population to recover from such a strategy. After October 2007, the level of disruption and shock of the opposition sectors in recent years has taken some institutional trenches and from there to advance its projects and goals. The Legislative Assembly in 2008-2009 operated under the logic of the mechanical majority, for example. In addition, his latest conquest has been the Ombudsman in 2007 had been belligerent against the government's intentions. Next, plausibly, is the Comptroller General of the Republic more than a headache has given the government. Not forgetting his progress in Crucitas and Sardinal, which have been the most publicized areas of struggle but not unique.


The third factor becomes paper-based surveys in this campaign, on three levels. First, it gave birth to a competitor and decoy for the voters: the ML. Whose radical thinking and direction for the country allowed the PLN power as a moderate party much committed to the needs of the poorest, obscuring its objectives mimetics and leaving the PAC as an enemy slowed and always behind the campaign advanced . Second, the PAC committed to beg on the banks loans to finance his campaign, because the surveys are presented as an objective indicator of such financing. Third, the invalidity of the presence of minority parties had to meet with nails money for the millionaire fair election, that is, that invisibility tactic shows a dialog with no dissent. However, the trip was the smartest of the small parties for their media campaign focused on a single medium: Extra group and won four seats.


The fourth factor that explains a double win: at the polls and in political culture. Which is central to who we should pay more attention because it operates in the subjective structures. Arises from the re-colonization effective and efficient and the subjectivity of the voters. Of land they had lost the groups in power since 1995-at least, until 2007.


right for decades had built a political culture passive electioneering, patronage. A citizenship that he believed in procedural democracy, which felt like a party, which was co-opted in their efforts and to channel their discomfort institutionally and sublimated their frustrations on the national team, for example.


The re-colonization of this subjectivity was a political and ideological goal of the first order for the bloc in power; who in 2000 had understood the centrality of the reconquista. First two formulas used paternalistic leadership: Abel Pacheco and the myth of American peace Oscar Arias Sanchez, whom rely on institutional disruption achieved by the judiciary re-election. He has now opted for gender progressivism with Laura Chinchilla has been your best bet (47% of the electorate and with 22% advantage)


Referendum in 2007 with the bet with all this project subjective. Amid the war of ideas won a strategic victory, dismantling and disappoint the public, re-establish its functional minority pro-systemic. Months after the referendum was an atmosphere of mourning and grief. Subject that served to recover the subjective field, taking the recovery effort.


first mass media with programs like: Dancing for a dream, singing in a dream, chinam and only in December 2009 championship bull riding with an air-nationalists among Ticos techniques, faced with national heroes: the chirriche, the misbehavior, hurricane, etc. All this in a phallocentric and chauvinistic.


Recovering a subjective space that used the PLN to consider a cultural campaign instead of squares ideological public with parades, jugglers, artists, music, dance, theater. That is, culture as political. The aesthetics and politics in the words of Walter Benjamin. Space in 2007 was widely appropriated by the movement of NO with The Huntress of No, eg


Secondly, this same trend of recovery of subjectivity by the right, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal developed an advertising campaign where it said vote is cute! Voting is pura vida! This is the exercise of suffrage is an aesthetic act and identity of good citizenship, good-ported more than a political-ideological ejericio.


In summary, in the 2010 elections in Costa Rica we have a big winner: a right to various branches and interests that you have understood that only right alliance can operate and control their natural home is to colonize the subjectivity of citizenship. To this must continue to invest time, energy and money directly or indirectly to recreate the style of political culture that he has brought more fruit: a passive citizenry and happy to participate in four years as models for the world citizens, a citizenship that channels his discomfort and that institutional form is alienanda by media disinformation, citizens who represses his passions or at least channeled into other areas of anti-football symbolic, choteo, gossip, etc, and a citizenry that is as natural harbor and destroy all dissent. Recall Vote is cute!
