Thanks Coldcut, again very interesting reading.
I know it’s a rough translation but I liked the final phrase: "The Constitutional Court has a responsibility ... to define on the request for Popular consultation in three cantons of Imbabura, not for issues of form, but background, as respect for the Constitution." I wish I could understand the local subtleties of that!
Also, in that string of tweets is another tweet from late yesterday/early today, translated:
“The Fruta del Norte project of @LundinGoldEC located in Zamora Chinchipe, will enter operations until the end of this year. The new mining policy guarantees the operation of the same.”
Interesting final phrase regarding the ‘guarantee’ that the national mining policy provides, regarding the future operation of the Lundin mine.
Tie that together with the timing of the mining policy’s launch vis-à-vis the deadline for representations to the CC and Imbabura referendum decision, the recent govt statements re the size and importance of Cascabel... hmmm
