LA VEGA, Dominican Republic.- A La Vega court yesterday ruled for an appeal filed by the Padre Rogelio Foundation against the exploitation of Loma Miranda by the mining company Xstrata Nickel Falcondo.
La Vega Province 3rd Judicial District presiding judge Algeria Garcia ordered the company to stop mining Loma Miranda, and allow the population’s unhindered access to the natural resource.
The appeal filed by the Padre Rogelio Foundation against Xstrata notes that the company doesn’t have any environmental permits to operate in that area.
The judge also set a penalty of RD$300,000 per day, if the company fails to comply with the court order. The court said Loma Miranda’s exploitation would cause serious damage to the area’s environment, agriculture and livestock.
Xstrata spokesperson Luis Rosado said they’ll appeal the ruling in the coming hours. "The court cannot also ask Falcondo to open the door to the public to what’s private property."

"ordered the company to stop mining Loma Miranda, and allow the population’s unhindered access to the natural resource."
The "Population" had "unhindered access" for 500 years and did squat with it.
Now that somebody has figured out what to do and is making money every A-Hole in the country wants their piece.
Still waiting for proof they are causing environmental damage. Even this very website hasn't been able to do so

Alpha 66 who has never had an original idea is now plagiarizing Ayn Rand, who once said something similar about Native Americans; that they should lose thier lands because they had not developed capitalism!

Nope thought it up all my myself.
But thanks for the compliment.
It is an honor to be compared to a brilliant mind and a defender of freedom as Ms. Rand

So the "population" will have "unhindered access to the natural resource" - no environmental permit or environmental impact study required?
What message does this kangaroo-court decision send to potential investors in the Dominican Republic?

I hope it sends a shiver up unscrupulous invester shysters spines. The area has been denuded of foliage and horrendous scarred earth remains. We need all those tree's and the water they help to gather.

We need recycling companies, agricultural investors, high tech and clean energy providers. Greener buildings & a greener santo Domingo. Real mass transit options...those are the kind of investors I want. Not the vultures and crows you support my dear Aussie friend.

It's amazing seeing people that throw their garbabe in the rivers, keep our streets dirty, illegally build their homes in private and state property including in our national parks get environmental all of a sudden when there's money involved.

La altura de la ignorancia impregnada: "It is an honor to be compared to a brilliant mind and a defender of freedom as Ms. Rand."
Ayn Rand escaped oppressive collectivism and reached "freedom", but was unable to function in freedom for she was already a damaged soul.
It is why Ayn Rand is shown to be hipocritical and contradictory when studied to any depth instead of just swallowing what every other moron says about her or her "works".
Ayn Rand preferred to visit theaters while her family nearly starved to death in Soviet Russia.
A 2-pack smoker and rabid defender of smoking until she got lung cancer. Then she quickly underwent surgery and quietly stopped smoking for the rest of her life; advised to tell the myriad of her followers who smoked only because she did to stop themselves as it causes cancer, she preferred to remain quiet about it and not say a word.

Ayn Rand's objectivism is simply extreme individualism, self-centeredness taken to its sociopathic extreme. That's why most college students who get in any quickly disassociate themselves by the time they attempt to create a family, for Ayn Rand's ideas are completely incompatible with raising conscientious self-respecting human beings who do not wantonly exploit other human beings nor let themselves be susceptible to exploitation.
Those that keep it turn into Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Alan Greenspan, Chicago School of Economics, IMF and World Bank. And where has that gotten us? Right here, at the threshold of our demise by our own unfettered greed.
Besides simply imbibing the shit professed by celebrities by sociopaths, you should read read a bit more AnthonyC.

Dominican people stand firm.
Este rapaz paradigma solo se explica dentro de un sistema capitalista-imperialista en crisis mayor, súper-militarizado y carente de recursos naturales vitales para prolongar su existencia. Nuevas conquistas territoriales, recolonizaciones y guerras imperialistas van de la mano con esa egoista lógica.
Y ya está muriendo. Check it out across IMF / ECB imposed austerity in Europe.
Spain breaking up just like in WWII all due to the attempt to save the socipathic oligarchy that's sucking dry the very humanity out of its people.
