According to said prediction, article 6 of Legislative Decree 1293 is modified, establishing that the term of validity of the process of comprehensive formalization of small-scale mining and artisanal mining activities, which was scheduled for December 31 of this year, is now will conclude with the entry into force of the Small Mining and Artisanal Mining Law.
However, so far Minem has not sent any initiative linked to a Small Mining and Artisanal Mining Law; and if it is sent, Congress would only evaluate it in the next legislature, if it decides to do so. With which, the Comprehensive Registry of Mining Formalization (Reinfo) will never end.
For the agents of the sector, Congress wants to take advantage of the situation of political instability in the country and see our faces, facilitating impunity for illegal miners.
“The congressmen want to pretend, because so far the Executive has not sent the Mape Law project and in Congress they would no longer see it in this legislature,” said a source who preferred anonymity.
