TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7
PROGRAM # 7992 12:00 PM PST.
Mexico Edition.
Everything indicates that the Mexican mogul Carlos Slim will convert the old underground mine of Salaverna in the second open pit mine in the state of Zacatecas. That would be the reason for the explosions of dynamite that 4 years ago caused the collapse of the hill slope and cracks in most of the houses. Recently, these homes were demolished with heavy machinery in the presence of police and state government officials, although some were inhabited. In fact, the measurement of thousands of hectares have already begun in the Mazapil hills, and they could be leased to Frisco-Tayahua, owned by the Mexican tycoon who, even though he is the fourth richest man in the world, has refused to compensate those affected. Martha Elena Ramírez, hosts this edition of the program Voz Pública, from Mexico City.
Guests: (recordings) Former worker of the Frisco-Tayahua mine; Martha Leticia Mendoza Cardenas, inhabitant of one of the destroyed houses in Salaverna, Zacatecas, Mex.
