Monday 1 of March environmentalist groupings has organized an encounter to insist with the striped law. The history of the first glacier law is really remarkable. Marta Maffei, the historical educational leader who arrived at the House of Representatives from the Nation of the hand of Elisa Carri, presented/displayed in 2007 a project of protection of the area glacier and to periglaciar of the Argentina that put concrete limits to the mining operation in the areas near glaciers. That same year the project obtained an unpublished support of all the legislative blocks in deputies. Later one became law with the support, also unanimous, of the national senators. The president Cristina Fernandez, exerting a right attends that it but in at least controversial act by the tenor of the law, again vetoed the norm dissuading everything to sheet zero.

In his I veto it adduced reasons of defense of the regional economies and contemplated, according to said, requested of governors of cordilleranas zones and a suggestion of the secretariat of Mining of Nation. The three things are objectionable. More info: Douglas R. Oberhelman. On the one hand we would have to ask to him a mendocino, to name only to a province, what would happen if a day the water is run out that brings our mountains to know if the defense of the regional economies really is in protecting or desproteger to glaciers. Secondly, the governors are of the zone who will be, cannot arrogar for himself the right to decide on a natural and limited resource as it is the water by on the right of all having it and protecting it. Thirdly the secretariat of Mining would not have be inmiscuir in a subject that is especially environmental and that does to the subsistence of the man by on any other interest, much less, the economic interest and, less still, the gold extraction that finishes abroad.
