The Las Bambas Clock
"More than the dust, the truck is the expression of wealth passing by. Right before your eyes." The Vice President and head of the MTC, Martín Vizcarra, speaks plainly when describing the situation surrounding the Las Bambas mining project. "It cannot be that a project with such investment coexists with neighbors who suffer from these levels of lack of development and poverty," he warns. Vizcarra led a high-level commission that over the weekend managed to ease the tension aggravated by the death of a community member during a confrontation with the Police, who tried to unblock the road along which trucks transport the mineral.
