By Pablo Lagalle Governor Gregores - 28/01/2010. We have greatly served the santacruceños details of the consequences of mining activity in small towns, as usual and to the provincial status and heavy dependence on public employment the inhabitants thereof, considered a great benefit the arrival of these companies at your location, requiring at least two or three years to break the myth and see that instead of prosperity, there is only environmental degradation, poverty and major social problems.
Exhibit at this short letter just a few of the considerations immediately observable in any town victim of mining facility, which form the first part of a report that will soon cover in its entirety.
Pan American Silver, owner of the Manantial Espejo mine project in Santa Cruz Governor Gregores, just three years to begin its work, shows his real identity, defrauding more conservative people who took the time to see their expectations unfulfilled.
* The initial promises of local and regional jobs are disappearing quickly, checking that all the employees, 90 percent are from other provinces and neighboring countries, although they are displayed as "santacruceños." How do you do? They are required to newcomers and change of address within 15 days are from Santa Cruz. What is the answer given to the community by this broken promise? "The santacruceños gregorenses or are not experienced ' what it takes to bring in from other places.
* The "buy local" during installation of the mine seems to go from strength to strength, we end early when a merchant in town will come with lush trade orders can not deliver. What do they say? Despite the dealer's request to wait several days to bring the requirements, he answered: "Our requirement is urgent," and bring it from other sites.
* For food that is the category that is experiencing strong growth in the beginning, decreases rapidly when the number of employees mine is large, contracted out and bring services directly from Buenos Aires On Route 3.
* From the municipal level on the promise of incredible growth, the town gives away land to mining, provided that the withdrawal of the same, be in possession of the properties built (in the Chances are most of the prefabricated buildings with short life), rapidly depleting the resource, if you charge your neighbors.
* In the local economy and specifically as to what property, causing an excessive rise in costs rents that makes young people and individuals who know nothing about mining, can not access, another point should be clarified here since the mine employees' salaries are not excessive, but if they hire as the company - while a worker is status of pending change of address and while it lasts -, pays a bonus to which covers part of their cost, which shall permanently cease to become Santa Cruz.
* From the specific environment, the province lacks funds to carry out controls in line with current legislation, so that the companies make their own checks or pay allowances of provincial officers for the controls. Is not it questionable?
* For the contribution in terms of royalties they bring to the province, we all know they are poor and miserable, to the point that the results obtained by the Treasury, for example, does not exceed the value of what the value of construction cost of a school building.
* Destroy the routes through which they pass, who Provincial Roads must be redoubled efforts and budgets to support them.
* incorporate large numbers of people to small towns, which quickly doubled to account not only the miners but also the families of the same, causing serious shortcomings in the education system and health, strengthening the province must meet with doctors, technicians and education.
* Rapid population growth results in a municipal system soon reveals their deficiencies and resources in public works double (Sewers - Electricity - Water - Sidewalks) paid with contributions sent to deficit by the Government. At the same time, given the lack of educational, cultural and sports from the State municipal, wandering idle youth program, or offer educational or recreational, causing serious social conflicts. * Appear brothels and drug use immediately to reach young people. * Increased crime, being noted in robberies, sexual abuse, alcoholism and drug addiction.
