950,000 Puno voters into a Poll? So Aduviri has proposed a compulsory Consultation in the 13 provinces and 110 districts of Puno, which means that 950,000 voters that live in Puno (peasants and their authorities) have to go to a poll to vote in favour or against the PL project, each district wth a different perspective and demand . That is insane, and think is a unique way to put a project under pressure or in a standby form.
The peruvian state cannot participate in economic activities, such constitutional reform shall be necessary in order that peruvian state or the Puno Region may take a large stake from this mining project and all other mining projects in Peru, which will not happened for sure.
PL has been working in its area of influece only in 1 district (Macusani) and 9 communities that fairly reach 1,000 peasants. That represents only 0.1% of the total voters of Puno.
What if the result of the compulsory Consultation is a "NO" to the project. From that point, PL shall be force to work with Aduviri that already said want a large stake of the project to the Puno Region, but a Constitutional reform has to be made first. Difficult times for PL are coming for sure starting january 2019.
