Darned strange that I can’t find a single word of the big signing ceremony earlier this week between the government of Ecuador and Ecuacorriente over the State burden and royalty agreements for the Mirador copper project. After all, we recall that the Minister in charge of it all, Wilson Pastor said less than two weeks ago:
“We have concluded the negotiations and expect that on January 30th we will sign the definitive contract [with Ecuacorriente].”
So why haven’t the media channels reported this grand signing ceremony this week? Some kind of news blackout? Unfair bias against the Correa government? Or perhaps, just perhaps, the governmental declarations concerning “agreement” between themselves and the miners were full of shit.
Again.
And oh, by the way your author predicted this would happen on January 22nd
