A call to the President from Cosal
Carlos Pavon
The opinions expressed by the columnists are independent and do not necessarily reflect the point of view of 24 HOURS.
Kidnapped for practically a year, this is what the San Rafael Cosal mine looks like in Sinaloa. It was on January 26 when a group of miners denounced the irruption by force by supporters of Napolen Gmez Urrutia. In the wild, they say, they came to seize the entrances to the mine and from that day on, any worker has been prevented from entering. This is how this story was born and not how they want the President to believe.
A few days ago, at AMLO's morning conference, a reporter used his right to express himself to bring up the subject of the mine. With total ignorance, he assured that it was taken by the workers adhered to the National Union of Mining-Metallurgical and Metal-Mechanic Trade Unions of Mexico, to UNASIM, said that it was a group of power that prevented the restart of operations and which was even made up of legislators and former public officials.
He requested the microphone to ask a question, however, he ended up reading practically the script of a poorly told story that was missing the truth at all times. It is worth mentioning that today photos of the same reporter in different assemblies made by those related to Napito, carried out outside the mine facilities in Cosal, circulate on social networks; It is also important to say that this site is only accessible to supporters of Senator de Morena.
It is evident that today they are trying to deceive the President with envoys, trying to make him believe a story that he knows well, since the real miners approached him to ask for his help and to denounce the robbery.
It was on February 22 that the President listened to them on his way to Durango and asked them about the ownership of the Collective Labor Agreement, since he assumed that if the strike was started by Napito, then it belonged to him, however, it remained more than evident that it was an invasion, since the CCT was in the hands of another union.
In that same meeting, the miners were clear in telling him that there had never been any problems between the company and the union and that the mine should be opened in order not to lose jobs.
Today Napito's cynicism reached the President once again, and there are those who say that it was already easy for him to deceive him and see his face, first by hiding that he is Canadian and thus accepting a seat violating the Constitution, then by assuring him that he is a miner when there is no record attesting to this fact. We know that the President will take charge of this case and will not be left with a version that lacks reality.
It will investigate why the mine is closed, it will inquire why Napito asked the company for several million dollars to reopen the mine, a request that was denied by the businessmen as it was classified as extortion, it will investigate who are the guardians of the mine and why to say about the miners carry long guns.
There is much to say about Cosal, but more to be clarified, for example why the Federal Board of Conciliation and Arbitration in the midst of anomalies and irregularities decided to carry out the recount for the ownership of the CCT, why it validated a list full of infiltrators.
Mr. President, we cannot allow Cosal to tell the same story of Cananea, Sombrerete and Taxco, mining communities that were invaded. The closure of a mine at the request, whim or personal benefit, implies loss of jobs, low quality of life of workers, loss of investment, it is a blow to the treasury, because if there is no production there is no payment of taxes, it falls in marginalization and poverty for the locality.
