Mayor and 80% Of California Residents Support Gold Project(From Google Translate) Hugo Lizcano, mayor of the municipality of California, where the controversial mega mining project of Soto Norte is located, assured Portafolio.co that both the civil authorities and the community of California have reviewed and monitored the work of Minesa and trust that it will not affect the water resources of the region or the city of Bucaramanga. How does the mayor of California think about the gold mining project?
For us it is very important. The municipality has been mining for decades and 90% of our economy depends on this activity.
We have also monitored the project and it will bring much benefit to the municipality, but we have always stressed to the company that it must do a well-made mining. We will be the first to denounce if we see that they are affecting the environment, social or economic aspects. We will not hesitate to reject it if something bad happens.
But so far as mayor and son of California, we see that it is a project that takes care of the community and the environment. We have been working hand in hand to make it good for everyone. What does the California community think of the project?
80% of the community supports it. It is a project that will bring benefits to the communities. Thanks to this project we have seen a development because the company has contributed a lot for social development. https://www.paisminero.co/mineria/mineria-colombiana/18030-el-alcalde-de-bucaramanga-nos-cree-ignorantes-con-lo-de-santurban
