The Asociacin Pro Desarrollo Minero (APRODEMI), asked the Constitutional Court to analyze "seriously" the complaints against CALAS.

The lack of operation at Minera San Rafael is due to an amparo granted to the Center for Legal, Environmental and Social Action (CALAS), in May last year, promoted by the former member of that group, Rafael Maldonado.

Maldonado was recently fired from the environmental organization, after several years of being the main legal adviser.

According to a statement from CALAS , the dismissal was for "a series of attacks on several women." One of the cases prospered and Maldonado was forbidden to approach the person and the organization.

Also, CALAS mentions that Maldonado and other people held a "mock Extraordinary Assembly with people who, like him, are not partners of CALAS, so any decision made by that spurious group is invalid ... We regret Maldonado's attempts to surprise the good faith of some community members so that they support their manifestly illegal acts "


Based on the statements of CALAS against Maldonado, APRODEMI requests that the Constitutional Court analyze "seriously" the accusations and take them into account for the definitive resolution of the mining company.

Maldonado was the one who obtained the amparo that stopped the operations, and that later appealed when the Court decided that they would continue the operations while the State made a consultation with the population.

Since that appeal, the Court has not resolved and the mining company has suspended operations. To date there are seven thousand 500 people who have been dismissed from the mine.

"The lack of legal certainty that is generated to any investor has caused a fall of 18 percent," explained lvaro Zebada, president of APRODEMI.

This association represents some 600 suppliers of products and services for the mine, of which at least 200 have closed for the suspension of operations.

The suppliers represent 17 thousand jobs, and about Q250 million a year in taxes.

This marte APRODEMI also presented a memorial to the Public Ministry to inform the situation of CALAS.
