Anti-mining activists against the Tía María project

Anti-mining activists against the Tía María project

Tía María is a mining project by Southern Copper Peru, with an investment of US$1.4 billion. Its contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) will be around 0.2 points during the construction phase and 0.4% of GDP during production. However, despite the economic impact it will have, this is a project that has been paralyzed for almost 10 years, and today, when there is a possibility of its operation, it is once again being rejected by anti-mining groups.

One of these opponents is José de Echave, from CooperAcción, who yesterday, during the presentation of the Observatory of Mining Conflicts in Peru, said that there is “concern about the way in which this mining initiative is being imposed.”

This is not the first time that he has opposed this mine, as he also did so when he was part of the Tierra y Libertad movement, to which Pepe Julio Gutiérrez, now convicted of extortion, also belonged. The latter was accused of negotiating the end of the protests against the project in 2015 with the famous phrase: “lentils in cash.”

Another of the opposition members who participated in the presentation is left-wing legislator Ruth Luque, who a few days ago signed a statement demanding the cancellation of Tía María under a fallacious argument that it would affect agriculture.
