Sunday 20 February, the coal company, Carbones de Perija, transnational Chilean capital, decided to enter with heavy machinery, in Indian territory Bari, in the Sierra de Perija, in the vicinity of the indigenous community of Boksi BARI, located in the southernmost foothills of the mountain to start the scanning process into 2 lots of concessions granted last year by the Venezuelan state in Official Gazette No. 37965 of July 22, 2004. These lots were designated as Guaracuya I and II, covering 12,069 hectares, and are granted under the corporate responsibility and Alvaro Quiroga María Victoria Güell, both Chilean citizens. Yet know the shareholding structure of coals Perijá. The Barí For decades claim territory formally Perijá saw such request based on a self-demarcation process covered by the new law on demarcation of indigenous terrtorios and the Bolivarian Constitution has been formally renewed by the representatives of these communities before the committee demarcation. The People Bari has held a historic fight for these territories, the last that will remain after the wars against the English Resistance, farmers and transnational oil companies and opposed by more than twenty years coal mining on their land. Paradoxically, after the adoption of the new constitutional order terrtorialidad widely protecting indigenous peoples have been granted these new concessions were renewed expectations of exploitation of this mineral in the Sierra de Perija. Warriors Bachichita communities, Karañakaek, Saimadoye, Bocksi, among others, are moving from yesterday to demand the immediate withdrawal of the invaders of their land. And demand that the central government to intervene on behalf of their rights, not the interests of the transnational unconstitutional. This grant is part of a chain of coal exploitation Concessions covering the whole of the Sierra piuedemonte Perijá, from Rio de Oro to the mountains of the peninsula Oca Guajira, just above the major river basins and water reservoirs of the western basin of Lake Maracaibo. This is an old plan inherited from the 4th republic, towards a notion of development which has the preservation of biodiversity, water resources, indigenous rights, away from any notion of sovereignty in the current geopolitical of the Andean subregion and that removes any structural possibility of doing justice to the humble masses of this region. Several social organizations, indigenous and environmental organizations, argues the unconstitutionality of the plan, which inexplicably seems to have risen over the past four years.
