The proposed mine would be sited within a near-pristine landscape on the very edge of a Unesco world-heritage-site small city. The mine is projected to last but thirty years, and then would be gone, leaving behind horrific environmental scars: the diamentric opposite of short-term pain etc. It is staggering that this proposal is even being considered. The location could not be more unsuitable. The poor people of Caceres are being bullied by outsiders motivated purely by greed. To allow this mine to proceed would be callous and montrous: corporate vandalism on a guargantuan scale.
