Approved a month ago a law that allows fracking by the provincial government of Mendoza, the deposed president Macri, environmentalists and a large citizen mobilization are rejecting it as polluting and dangerous to life.
Governor Alfredo Cornejo signed the decree that provoked a debate among the citizens since this method of hydrocarbon extraction is highly polluting.
The environmental movements show their rejection with reports and give as an example that this practice is prohibited in several first world countries (France, Germany, England, Bulgaria, and some US states).
The coordinator of the World March Rafael de la Rubia sympathized with the environmentalists who were carrying out informational traffic cuts in the RN7, at the height of the reservoir of Potrerillos.
They told him that, in addition to the contamination of the waters by cyanide and other chemical products, there can also be contamination by radioactive elements when this technique produces the breaking of the rocks.
The impact can be null, low, high or very serious
Specialists claim that the impact can be zero, low, high or very serious. This is not known, nor can it be assured in any way. There is no independent study of the environmental impact in the region.
The World March has been detecting aggressions and destruction of aquifers throughout Latin America.
Water is an essential element for life, but access to it and human consumption is deteriorating throughout the continent.
Already on his journey from Mexico, Pedro Arrojo, Goldman Ecology Prize winner and member of the Base Team of the World March, came to warn of the serious problem suffered by the entire region. He stated that in some places “water is more expensive than gasoline.”
Access to pure, accessible and public water has to be installed as a basic and effective human right in all countries of the world, as it is already in most Europeans.
