00:00Atrato
00:04Atrato
00:05I knew the Atrato
00:09crystalline
00:10When the river was dry
00:12the water was green
00:14according to the crystalline
00:16and today
00:18it disappeared
00:20You don't know
00:22the water in the bottom
00:23of the river atrato
00:26because it doesn't clear
00:30the river
00:30and the river
00:30To the river
00:30and to the sea
00:42Atrato
00:43for us
00:46young men
00:47in that time
00:50the most happiness
00:52was
00:53swimming
00:54water
00:54on the river atrato
00:56all the day
00:57We were 14 or 15 times in the day, but since the mining started, that joy, that satisfaction
01:06we disappeared automatically.
01:11The trade for the people is the life and the sustenance of the economy and also the food.
01:17The court was pronounced after studying the facts, defining the trade as a river with rights.
01:23The rights offered are in the decision, one is maintenance, the other is conservation, and the same order is restoration
01:31and protection.
01:32I have a lot of information, and so we have a good time.
01:35I ask you a good advice for the Trato.
01:38I am Alexander Rodríguez Mena, I am a tanguiseño, I am a tanguí,
01:45and I am a community of Río Trato for the TC22,
01:49that recognizes a Río as a subject of rights, a Río y su gente.
01:54The Constitutional Court told the government that they have been acting,
01:59they have been incurring in the actions and omissions for a long time,
02:03they are not knowing, they are vulnerating the rights,
02:07the rights of life, the rights of life,
02:10the rights of communities that have been traumatized, have been abandoned.
02:14This sentence marks a precedence, a precedence important,
02:18because it has opened the doors, or has motivated the judges
02:23to emit mistakes and similar situations.
02:27Imagine, here I have 61 years old,
02:30and since I was born, I met my mother and my dad mining.
02:34But they did not harm the environment,
02:38they did not harm the environment,
02:40because they did it with their barra,
02:44their barreton and their ateas.
02:47Today, when the machines came,
02:50there has been a temptation,
02:52because not only the land is destroyed,
02:55the land is destroyed,
02:57but also the land is destroyed.
03:16The Constitutional Court is the most affected,
03:19the entire cuenca,
03:20the tributaries are the most affected,
03:22and the most affected by the extraction of minerals.
03:27The government sometimes takes their statistics
03:29that they have done 10 or 20 operatives,
03:32and they have spent $10.000, $50.000, $100.000,
03:36in those operatives.
03:37And we always have reiterated that
03:39if those $50.000 or $100.000,
03:42that they have spent in the operation,
03:44if they had brought us to social investment,
03:46suddenly people would not have allowed
03:48to destroy the territory,
03:49because there was a project
03:51that would mark their future.
03:55Nowadays,
03:57the same land that they have taken to the land,
04:01they do not hit the platanus as it was hit,
04:04they do not hit the rice as it was hit,
04:06and I don't know what people will eat
04:09when they don't get to make a big deal.
04:11If our farmers have a life
04:16in their territory,
04:17they wouldn't have happened to what happened in Rio Quito.
04:19Because I consider that if the government
04:22generates other opportunities
04:23of life,
04:24of a source of income,
04:26I'm sure that many people
04:28who are doing the mining,
04:29who are doing the mining,
04:30are doing other important things
04:31that also generate
04:32rentability,
04:33that also can sustain the family.
04:35But that the fish is contaminated,
04:38they have done studies,
04:40and they have a lot of mercury,
04:43because that is what they use
04:44the mercury,
04:45as they say,
04:46to separate the gold from the water.
04:50And the fish
04:53is one of the sources of the food
04:56of the Atrateo.
04:58In the case of Rio Quito,
05:00we have several children
05:02with malformation problems.
05:05They are associating
05:07to the mercury contamination,
05:09but scientifically,
05:11it is not confirmed.
05:12Mauricio Cabrera
05:13me did the exam
05:14to me.
05:15I was in the legal representation
05:17and I have mercury.
05:19And from that time,
05:20what he did
05:21to this time?
05:23No one knows
05:23what magnitude
05:25of mercury in my body.
05:26The actions are left
05:27like in the middle of the road.
05:30After the study
05:31there is no
05:33the implementation route
05:34there is people
05:35who have gone
05:36with high levels
05:37extremely high
05:39and today
05:40they don't have
05:41an attention route.
05:42We hope
05:43that the pronunciation
05:45and the order
05:46were more effective.
05:59The authorities
06:00locales
06:01in the Department
06:02of Chocó
06:03have made the case
06:03from the Attorney
06:05to the Government
06:06of Chocó.
06:08The sentence is
06:10since 2016
06:11and we are in 2021
06:12and we are just looking
06:14to see
06:14how we finish
06:15a plan.
06:16And there is
06:17the Ministry of Hacienda
06:19and the Ministry of Hacienda
06:22and the presidency
06:24have to achieve
06:26the resources
06:27to fulfill
06:28the order
06:29They are forced
06:30to fulfill
06:30when they are going to do
06:32I don't know
06:32when they are going to do
06:33I don't know
06:33if in so many years
06:34they are not going to advance
06:35with that
06:36we are going to use
06:39all the ways
06:39that we have
06:40to say the truth
06:41today is
06:42you put it
06:43meat
06:43but
06:45I have the
06:46potatoes
06:47and I always say
06:49well
06:50if I finish this interview
06:52and they are going to kill me
06:55they are going to kill me
06:56they are going to kill me
06:57they are going to kill me
06:57for saying the truth.
06:59How I came to defend
07:00it
07:01I defend it
07:02I defend it
07:02from my 12 years
07:03to here
07:04and I defend it
07:06because I know
07:06that
07:07without natural resources
07:10without territory
07:10inside my life
07:11of my life
07:12right
07:12you have no life
07:14you are living
07:16here
