  • Thank you for posting this video, and thank you CBC. How much for a town? a disaster that helps a foreign company? what kind of live is ahead for this town when the company buys out the mountain? at the end they all are going to be just minimum low wages workers for a multinational. Where is going to go all the benefit from that mountain? ... I don't know...GOLD FOR MIRRORS the history is back.

  • No sabes lo que dices, estas empresas mineras solo utilizan nuestra mano de obra barata, trabajan la mina por 8 años y dejan todo contaminado, el cianuro con el que lixivian el oro es veneno contaminan los mantos acuiferos, el aire y la tierra, quien viva cerca de la mina esta condenado a la muerte,

    el progreso no debe justificarse con el daño al medio ambiente y menos con el genocidio que implica la mieneria a cielo abierto

    NO A LAS MINAS A CIELO ABIERTO EN NINGUN LUGAR DEL MUNDO

  • Hey! Look! A Gold mining company!

    OMG! Land slide!

    Coincidence. Of course... Grab a torch and burn those greedy bastards.

  • My opinion: the only difference between exploting the gold mines by a foreing company or Colombian people is time: The foreing gold company explote the mines in 20 years, while for Marmato' habitants will take more than 20 years. However, I do not agree with a foreing company exploting the mines of gold because after all they leave more poverty in Marmato. Marmato's gold is for Marmato's people. Marmatenos, defiendan lo de ustedes. El oro pertenece a ustedes y sus genreaciones vinientes.

  • the pencil neck dude with the glasses is a sleezeball!!

  • lets take a gold mine from poor Colombians and give it to rich nations. Thanks capitalism

  • @RCA1946 no se trata de ideologia politica por dio es que no es conciente de la situacion que se ha dado a lo largo de la historia ?

  • But think off all that precious unobtai-er... gold!

  • @luismiguel841 go fuck your self bitch

  • Fucking thieves!! I hope the guerrillas will give them a good welcome!

  • Para ese senador de apellido Robledo, extranjero es aquel de otro pais de occidente y no es bienvenido. Si fuera un cubano o de otro pais comunista seria bienvenido. Permitamos que venga la tecnologia y la inversion de capital extranjera, claro esta que tomando todas las precauciones del caso.
