La actista Dora \u201cAlicia\u201d Recinos Sorto, embarazada de ocho meses, fue asesinada en Nueva Trinidad, Caba\u00f1as el pasado 26 de diciembre de 2009. Activist Dora \u201cAlicia\u201d Recinos Sorto, 32, was killed on Dec.26, 2009 while eight months pregnant, in Nueva Trinidad, Cabanas. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Guatemalan indigenous leader Pascual Bernabe Velasquez declared, \u201cWhen one community is contaminated in Guatemala or Central America, the whole world is contaminated,\u201d to an audience of 70 packed into Sunrise Restaurant on Feb. 25.<\/p>\n

He was speaking at a panel discussion on resistance to mining in Latin America, hosted by the Network in Solidarity with the People of Guatemala and the Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador (CISPES). Indigeous-rights activists Nestor Castillo and Flavio Santi were also on hand to detail mining resistance efforts in El Salvador and Ecuador.<\/p>\n

Velasquez visited the Bay Area from February 22 to February 25 as part of a three-week NISGUA-sponsored tour of the Western United States, which included stops at Albuquerque, Tucson and Los Angeles. The purpose of the tour was to meet with local organizations in each city and raise awareness about mining in Guatemala.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are \u2026 in the US to speak about solidarity, to look for solutions; to speak the truth in order to escape from slavery, not just in Central America but in the whole world,\u201d he told the audience at the Sunrise.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy personal story is about a struggle: of family and later in civil society,\u201d he said. Velasquez, a Mayan Q\u2019anjob\u2019al from Pie de la Cuesta in Guatemala, represents the Assembly in Defense of the Nonrenewable Resources of Huehuetenango.<\/p>\n

He explained that this organization was created, \u201cbecause of the mining issue\u2026in order to accompany the people in the organization of their referendums, and to follow up\u2026to look at the legal aspect of these referendums.\u201d<\/p>\n

These referendums, or consultas, are an indigenous response to the Guatemalan government\u2019s decision to grant almost 400 licenses to transnational coal, gold, silver, nickel and zinc mining companies over the past several years, according to Velasquez and NISGUA. The NISGUA web site reported that this spike in mining concessions followed a series of neoliberal economic reforms the Guatemalan government passed after the 1996 peace accords \u201cunder the pretext of jumpstarting the national economy after decades of war.\u201d<\/p>\n

The laws and treaties that came out of these reforms\u2014the national mining law, foreign investment law and ratification of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA)\u2014\u201chave all but eliminated the possibility for locally-driven economic solutions in favor of \u2018trickle-down\u2019 foreign investment,\u201d stated an information sheet on NISGUA\u2019s Web site.<\/p>\n

Velasquez said that the Mayan people of Huehuetenango oppose corporate mining because it produces little income for the community, while negatively affecting the health of the local population and ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe speak specifically about indigenous peoples because they are the most vulnerable, suffer most at the hands of the state,\u201d he said before the audience at the Sunrise.<\/p>\n

Velasquez explained in an interview to El Tecolote that mining in Guatemala operates alongside discrimination and racism because, \u201cIn general, mining affects the most marginalized communities and marginalized places.\u201d<\/p>\n

He stated that due to racial discrimination, indigenous peoples have historically been driven to isolated and infertile areas. Today, when mining corporations discover the hidden riches of this barren land, \u201cthey come wanting to exploit these mines without consulting the owners, the peoples of these lands \u2026 in part, it\u2019s because the governments think that the mestizo or ladino people are more knowledgeable about the law, so they respect them more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Velasquez reported that beginning in 2006, 28 of the 32 municipalities in Huehuetenango have passed referendums to ban mining companies from entering their communities. He added that referendums have already been organized and \u201cthe dates are set\u201d in the remaining four municipalities. However, the Guatemalan government has so far refused to accept the results of these referendums as binding, which would require authorities to actively prevent mining in each of these communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter this process, since the government hasn\u2019t validated the communities, the communities take it one step further and declare their territories as \u2018mining-free zones,\u2019\u201d Velasquez said during the panel discussion.<\/p>\n

He stated that on Jan. 28, the indigenous people comprising nine municipalities in Huehuetenango publicly declared their regions to be \u201cmining-free zones\u201d before Congress, the President, the human-rights ombudsman and the Ministry of Energy and Mines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are still waiting for the government\u2019s response,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Velasquez clarified, \u201cWhen we speak about confronting problems with the government, we\u2019re not attacking them, but holding our own votes and asking the government to respect that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur purpose is not just to protest, to say no to mining,\u201d stated Velasquez, listing community education, health and sustainable production as other priorities. \u201cThey [the indigenous communities in Guatemala] weren\u2019t organized just because of mining; they\u2019ve been organizing for a number of years because it is part of the culture and customs and procedures of the local indigenous peoples.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guatemala is not the only country in Central America where the people have organized to deny mining companies access to their communities, said Nestor Castillo, the Bay Area Chapter Coordinator for CISPES, citing the resistance movement in El Salvador as an example.<\/p>\n

According to Castillo, the resistance in El Salvador focused on the Canadian gold mining company Pacific Rim. In 2002, the mining company acquired an inactive mine in El Dorado, which was built in the 1940s, in the northern department of Caba\u00f1as.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest opposition to Pacific Rim\u2019s gold mine is due to concerns about severe environmental damage, specifically the risk of cyanide contamination and the massive amounts of water that would be used during the extraction, estimated at 10 liters\/second,\u201d said CISPES director Alexis Stoumbelis, in an interview posted on the organization\u2019s Web site.<\/p>\n

Last April, the government of El Salvador denied an extraction permit for Pacific Rim, citing the potential for environmental damage. However, the company has challenged this decision by filing for capital remuneration under Chapter 10 of CAFTA. The case is still pending.<\/p>\n

While the Caba\u00f1as community has been successful in garnering federal support, they have paid a price for their resistance. Three anti-mining activists were murdered in Caba\u00f1as in the past year. Marcelo Rivera disappeared last June, and his body was found 11 days later at the bottom of a well, showing clear signs of torture, according to Castillo.<\/p>\n

In December, Ramiro Rivera Gomez and Dora \u0093Alicia\u0094 Recinos Sorto, both prominent members of the Caba\u00f1as Environment Committee, were shot and killed in broad daylight. Castillo stated that Gomez was under police protection at the time of his murder.<\/p>\n

The National Roundtable Against Metallic Mining, which has led El Salvador\u2019s resistance movement, blamed Pacific Rim for the escalating violence in the region around the gold mine, asserting in a press statement that \u201cCaba\u00f1as,\u0097despite its high level of poverty and exclusion,\u0097was one of the least violent departments of the country, but this changed with the presence of the extractive company in question.\u0094<\/p>\n

CISPES continues to support the activists in El Salvador by raising awareness here in the US.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working on getting this information out to the community, especially the El Salvadorian community here,\u201d Castillo said. \u201cRight now we\u2019re doing a lot of education, and also putting pressure on the company as well as our Congress representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n

For El Salvador and its Central American neighbors, CAFTA is a major factor because it provides an avenue for transnational corporations such as Pacific Rim to override national governments\u2019 decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn his campaign, Obama said that if trade agreements like CAFTA and NAFTA weren\u2019t working, the (US) government would find another way of doing business. So we\u2019re trying to use his sound bite to put pressure on the government,\u201d Castillo explained.<\/p>\n

Flavio Santi, an indigenous activist and natural healer from Puyo, Ecuador, spoke briefly on the multifaceted wealth of the jungle and the danger of destroying this through resource extraction. \u201cThe jungle for us is a supermarket, a natural pharmacy, a natural university where our grandparents taught us about development between humans and nature. But this richness is under threat from the mining companies\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Santi concluded, \u201cMy grandfather taught me that we are guardians of the Earth, not its owners. I\u2019m thankful to all of my brothers and sisters in the US who join in solidarity to help with this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
