1 | Peru: Reflecting on Anti-Mining Protests | Però : Fijerena Manokana Ny Hetsi-panoherana Manohitra ny Fitrandrahana |
2 | Last week was rather complicated for Peru's government. | Ny herinandro lasa teo dia somary sarotsarotra ihany ho an'ny governemanta . |
3 | No sooner had Ollanta Humala's government marked 100 days in power, three social conflicts related to problems with mining activity were exacerbated: a farmers' strike in Andahuaylas demanding the withdrawal of two copper processing plants and the suspension of mining concessions and activities in the area; protests in Cajamarca against the Conga mining project because twenty lakes could disappear [es] due of this project; and road blocks [es] in Huari and Cátac, in the northern Ancash region, to demand the compliance of environmental commitments by the Antamina and Huallanca mining companies. | Raha vao haingana izay ny Governemantan'i Ollanta Humala no nahatratra ny faha 100 androny, fifandonana ara-sosialy telo mihahenjana izay nifandraika tamin'ny olana ara-pitrandrahana : ny grevin'ireo mpamboly tao Andahuaylas izay mangataka ny fampiatoana ny ozinina fikirakirana firaka roa ary ny fanajanonana ny fifanarahana amin'ny asam-pitrandrahana ao amin'ny faritra ; ireo hetsi-panoherana tao Cajamarca manohitra ny tetikasam-pitrandrahana Conga satria farihy roampolo no mety ho foana tanteraka [es] noho io tetikasa io; sy ny fibahanana arabe[es] tao Huari ary Cátac, tao amin'ny faritra Avaratr'i Ancash , mba hangataka ny fampiharana ny lalàna mifehy ny tontolo iainana amin'ireo orinasam-pitrandrahana Antamina sy Huallanca. |
4 | Out of all these conflicts, the conflict in Andahuaylas escalated the most; after failing to reach an agreement with the high level commission, the protests left fires in several businesses and around 38 protestors and policemen injured. | Amin'ireo fifandonana maro ireo, ny fifandonana tao Andahuaylas no niitatra be indrindra : Taorian'ny tsy fahombiazan'ny fifanarahana niaraka tamin'ny vaomiera ambony dia nivadika fandorana trano maromaro sy maratra 38 ilay hetsi-panoherana noho ny fifandonana teo amin'ny mponina sy ny polisy. |
5 | All this occurred while the media was paying attention to a case of alleged peddling by vice president Omar Chehade [es], and with President Humala outside of the country | Nitranga izany rehetra izany raha mbola malaza amin'ny haino aman-jery ny raharaham-panindriana nataon'ny Filoha lefitra Omar Chehade [es] ary nitsidika firenena vahiny ny Filoha Humala. |
6 | Media editorials and opinion columns were quick to mention that the honeymoon between the people and the new government had ended, and that all this was part of a new anti-mining conspiracy. | Ny mpanao gazety sy ny tonian-dahatsoratra anefa di amaika tamin'ny filazana fa tapitra ny volan-tantelin'ny mponina amin'ny governemanta, ary izany rehetra izany dia noho ny fiokoana hanohitra ny orinasam-pitrandrahana. |
7 | But in the blogosphere opinions and views are somewhat different. | Fa hafa noho izany kosa ny hevitra sy ny fomba fijery hita ao amin'ny tontolon'ny bilaogy. |
8 | For example, in the blog Consulta Previa (Prior Consultation), after analyzing [es] the protests based on the election promises of Ollanta Humala, they delve into the heart of the matter: | Ohatra, ao amin'ilay bilaogy Consulta Previa (“fifanankalozan-kevitra voalohany”) rehefa avy namakafaka [es] ilay hetsi-panoherana miompana amin'ny toky nomen'i Ollanta Humala, dia nidiran'izy ireo tany amin'ny fotony avy hatrany ny raharaha : |
9 | The bottom line is whether mining can be developed in aquifers. | Ny tery amin'ny farany ambany dia ny hoe afaka ny hampandroso ve ny fitrandrahana aquifers. |
10 | Our answer is NO. | Ny valinteninay dia TSIA. |
11 | Once that is clear, we can talk about a fair dialogue. | Rehefa mazava ny momba izay, dia afaka ny hiresaka tsara amin'izay isika. |
12 | That starting point that will undoubtedly bring higher costs to investors. | Io fanombohana io no ampoizina fa hahalany vola be ireo mpampiasa vola. |
13 | But this is not about draining ponds and wetlands or contaminating basin headwaters and underground water as a condition for development. | Kanefa tsy any amin'ny resaka faharitran'ny dobo sy ny tany mando na ny fandotoana ny dobo sy ny loharano ho antoka ho amin'ny fandrosoana ilay izy. |
14 | The world it is extremely clear about that. | Mazava ny amin'izany amin'izao tontolo izao. |
15 | Why shouldn't Peru be entitled to claim modernity in this regard? | Fa nahoana kosa i Però no tsy afaka ny hihiaka ny fanavaozany amin'izany resaka izany ? |
16 | In the blog ¿Estamos jodidos? | Tao amin'ilay bilaogy ¿Estamos jodidos?(“ |
17 | (Are we screwed?) they raise [es] concerns about mining in itself, but for reasons related to the truthfulness of the reported production: | Moa va isika voabaiko?”) dny ahiahin-dry zareo [es] dia resaka momba ny fitrandrahana mihitsy, saingy miompana kokoa amin'ny vokatra notrandrahina ny fanadihadiana : |
18 | Lots of times we have insisted that in mining projects the State must be participating in extractions for two reasons: first, for the control of what is extracted, and second, for the environment. | Imbetsaka isika no nisisika nilaza fa aminà resaka tetikasam-pitrandrahana ny fanjakana dia tokony handray anjara amin'ny fitrandrahana noho izao antony roa izao : voalohany, mba hanara-maso ny zavatra trandrahina ao, ary faharoa, noho ny tontolo iainana. |
19 | Whether significant or not, investments must be made with a 50 or 51% government representation in the board, and if it is so profitable, with more reason participation would be controlled by the State. Yanacocha Mine, Cajamarca, Perú. | Na misy dikany na tsia, ny fampiasam-bola dia tokony atao 50 na 51% ny solontenam-panjakana eo amin'ny filakevi-pitantanana, koa raha ahazoana tombony izany, vao maika antony andraisana anjara amin'ny fanaraha-maso. |

21 | But this distrust is not going in one direction, there is also suspicion against the government [es]: | Kanefa tsy mandeha ila izany ahiahy izany, misy ihany koa izany ho an'ny governemanta[es] : |
22 | Humala is not dumb. | Tsy moana akory i Humala. |
23 | He fully realizes the damage all these social excesses cause the country and that his presence is needed here and not abroad […] So what is he up to? …. | Tsapany tokoa ny loza nentin'ireny hetsika ara-sosialy ireny teo amin'ny firenena ary ilaina ny fahatongavany aty fa tsy any ivelany […] Koa inona ary ny zavatra entiny? …. |
24 | We might reach a situation of anarchy and he might say that under that situation and for the good of the country they decide to expropriate mines and major banks. | Mety tonga amin'ny fotoana tsy fisian'ny governemanta isika ary mety hilaza izy fa ao anatin'izao zava-mitranga izao ary ho soa ho an'ny firenena dia nanapa-kevitra izy ireo ny haka ny fitrandrahana sy ny banky maro. |
25 | Be careful …. the military-president is no fool | Tandremo….tsy adala ny Filoha efa nanao miaramila |
26 | In the same vain, in the blog Políticamente Incorrecto (Politically Incorrect), Víctor Roble criticizes [es] the actions of Prime Minister Salomón Lerner: | Ao anatin'izay ahiahy izay ihany, ao amin'ilay bilaogy Políticamente Incorrecto (“tsy ara-politika”), Víctor Roble dia nanakina [es] ny fihetsiky ny praiminisitra Salomón Lerner : |
27 | He has sent the same message of Simon and Del Castillo: “If you want us to listen to you and pay attention to your claims, you just have to occupy cities, block roads, loot stores and stone buses”. | Nandefa hafatra mitovy amin'ilay an'i Simon sy Del Castillo izy : “Raha tianao hihaino anao izahay ary hiraharaha ny fangatahanao, dia mila mibodo ny tanàna ianao, mibahana ny arabe, mandroba sy mitoraka fiara fitaterana. |
28 | Is that the Great Transformation candidate Ollanta Humala offered? | Izany ve ilay hoe Fiovana Lehibe atolotr'ilay kandidà Ollanta Humala?[ |
29 | […] With good reason, many of us wonder if perhaps this violent climate contrary to private investment is being encouraged covertly by the government. | …]miaraka amin'ny antony tsara, maro amintsika no mihevitra angamba fa io maripana mahery setra io izay mifanohitra amin'ny fampiasam-bola manokana dia tohanan'ny governemanta. |
30 | In the blog Gran Combo Club, Silvio Rendón also criticizes [es] President Ollanta Humala, but from another perspective: | Tao amin'ilay bilaogy Gran Combo Club, i Silvio Rendón koa dia nanakiana [es] ny Filoha Ollanta Humala, fa tamin'ny fijery hafa : |
31 | We're headed for a perfect dictatorship, or a new “supercoexistance”. | Tarihan'ny jadona tanteraka isika, na “fiaraha-miasa goavana” vaovao. |
32 | Ollanta Humala is not going to keep his promises to stop mining companies, and he will not do anything about the abuse against workers. | Ollanta Humala dia tsy hitàna ny teny nomeny mba hanajanona ireo orinasa mpitrandraka, ary tsy hanao na inona na inona izy amin'ny fanararaotana mihatra amin'ireo mpiasa. |
33 | Humala today is the old manager's same dog (or cat). | Humala ankehitriny dia ilay alikan'ny (na saka) mpitondra taloha. |
34 | He has instigated a soft coup, a “change of direction.” | Nanomboka fanovàna moramora izy, “fiovàna lalàna.” |
35 | […] Sure, Humala will get away with it, if people let him. | […]Azo antoka, Humala dia hiala amin'izany, raha avelan'ny olona. [ |
36 | […] But if people react quickly, and understands that Humala HAS ALREADY dishonored his promises and he is quickly red carded, the fait accompli could be prevented. | …]Kanefa raha maneho hevitra haingana ny olona, ary mahazo fa i Humala DIA EFA tsy nahefa ny teny nomeny ary omena karatra mena vetivety dia voasoroka ny “tara loatra”. |
37 | Toledo was forced to back up, Garcia had to back up. | Efa nihemotra i Toledo, nihemotra koa i Garcia. |
38 | Humala will have no other choice than to back up. | Tsy manana safidy hafa afa-tsy ny mihemotra i Humala. |
39 | Linking the votes from the last elections with the current protests, Rendón adds: | Raha ampifandraisina ny fandrotsaham-bato tamin'ny fifidianana farany sy ny fihetsiketseham-panoherana ankehitriny dia nanampy i Rendón: |
40 | People are tired of being deceived. | La gente está harta de que la engañen. |
41 | […] It doesn't matter that some, mainly in Lima, justify and disguise the contempt of the popular vote with “political maturity” or “democratic learning”. | […] No importa que algunos, principalmente en Lima, justifiquen y disfracen el desacato del voto popular de “madurez politica” o “aprendizaje democrático”. |
42 | We need a government that does what it promises. | Se necesita un gobierno que cumpla lo que promete. |
43 | Big business leaders would have to give up some mines, like they had to give privatizing the electricity of Arequipa. | Los grandes empresarios tendrán que renunciar a algunas explotaciones mineras, como tuvieron que renunciar a privatizar la electricidad de Arequipa. |
44 | […] If Humala does the same things done by previous governments, he will have the same results: a citizen uprising. | […] Si Humala hace lo mismo que hicieron los gobiernos anteriores, tendrá los mismos resultados que éstos: una sublevación de la ciudadanía. |
45 | They will not accept the contempt of citizens' vote. | No le aceptarán el desacato al voto ciudadano. Leon'ny fitapitahana ny olona. |
46 | Analyzing the case of the Yanacocha mining company, owner of the Conga mining project in Cajamarca, Jacqueline Fowks of Notas desde Lenovo summarizes [es] the company's at times arrogant and proud position: | […] tsy maninona izay filazan'ny sasany, indrindra ny any Lima, manamarina na manova endrika ny tsy firaharahiana ny safidim-bahoaka amin'ny “fahamatorana politika” na “fianarana demokratika”. Ny ilainay dia ny fitondrana manatanteraka ny nampanantenainy. |
47 | [in] the recent history of Yanacocha-Newmont regarding their relationship with the communities, issues of safety and of the environment places them in the situation they face today: that is, their opponents have arguments. | Mila mampitsahatra ny toeram-pitrandrahana sasany ny mpandraharaha vaventy tahaka ny nitsaharany nivarotra ho an'ny tsy miankina ny herinaratra ao Arequipa. […] Raha hamerina ny nataon'ny teo aloha i Humala dia mitovy ihany ny vokany: fiokoan'olona. |
48 | It is worth remembering that the company does fully recognize its responsibility for the consequences [es] of the mercury spill in Choropampa, or that it reached court settlements [es] that are not proportional to the dimensions of the consequences. | Tsy ho eken-dry zareo ny fanaovana tsinontsinona ny safidiny. Amin'ny fandinihana ny mikasika ny fitrandrahana ao amin'ny orinasan'i Yanacocha , tompon'ilay orinasam-pitrandrahana Conga ao Cajamarca, Jacqueline Fowks ao Notas desde Lenovo dia namehy [es] ny toeran”ilay orinasa ho eo amin'ny toerana maha be ambo sy maha be fireherehana : |
49 | As for security, a 2009 report showed illegal and irregular practices by Forza personnel and police getting paid by the company, especially for what happened in Combayo. | [in] Ny tantara vao haingana teo amin'ny orinasa Yanacocha-Newmont momba ny fifandraisan'izy ireo tamin'ny fiarahamonina eo amin'ny resaka fandriampahalemana sy ny tontolo iainana no manazava ny zavamisy ankehitriny: izany hoe manana antony anoherana irey mpanohitra. |
50 | When in 2010 I requested an interview to ask about what safety practices had changed as a result of that assessment and recommendations, the company refused to answer on the matter. | Ilaina ny mampahatsiahy fa nanaiky tanteraka ny andraikiny ilay orinasa amin'ny vokatry ny [es] fiparitahan'ny merkiora tao Choropampa, ary nahazo alalana ” hanonitra ivelan'ny fitsarana” [es] ny orinasa nefa tsy mifanatsahana tamin'ny haben'ny loza izany. |
51 | | Eo amin'ny sehatry ny filaminana, ny fanadihadiana 2009 dia nampiharihary ny omba fanao tsy ara-dalàna sy tsy rariny nataon'ireo Mpitandro ny Filaminana an'olo-tsotra sy ny polisy izay karamain'ireo orinasa , indrindra ny tamin'izay nitranga tao Combayo. |
52 | | Raha nangataka hifampitafatafa mba hiresahana izay niova noho ny fanombanana sy ny zavatra tokony hotanterahina nivoaka aho tamin'ny 2010 dia nandà tsy hiresaka ny orinasa. |
53 | In the mean time conflicts are far from over. | Mandritra izany fotoana izany mbola lavitry ny hivaha ny olana. |
54 | In Andahuaylas the protest [es] continues [es] despite the farmers' truce, as a faction continues their striggle, while different sources mention the probable manipulation [es] by infiltrated groups [es]. | Ao Andahuaylas ilay hetsi-panoherana [es] dia mbola mitohy [es] na dia eo aza ny faneken'ireo mpamboly ny hanajanona ny fitakiany, raha nisy loharano maro nilaza ny mety hisian'ny fanararaotana [es] ataon'ireo” vondrona efa tafiditry ny olona voakarama” [es]. |
55 | Citizens of Cajamarca are denuncing [es] the Regional President for calling the strike, while the Yanacocha mining company continues to receive criticism [es] related to the environment [es]. | Ny mponina ao Cajamarca dia mitory[es] ny filoham-paritra ho miantso ny grevy , raha toa ny orinasam-pitrandrahana Yanacocha dia manohy ny mandray fanakianana [es] mifandraika amin'ny tontolo iainana [es]. |
56 | Clearly, these are not easy matters, as illustrated in this video interview [es] where Congressman Javier Diez exposes several issues related to problems with mining. | Mazava ho azy , tsy mora izany, araka ny aseho ao amin'ity lahatsary fanadihadiana ity [es] izay ahitana ny depiote Javier Diez mampiseho resaka maro mikasika ny olan'ny fitrandrahana. |
