British mining company against Peru's protesters

Once more, a country from the central capitalism has a conflict with a country from the periferic capitalism, this once, England with a mining company against Peru with its people. It is not something new: it is a old story about how imperialist countries come to this region to have cheap work force and cheap natural resources. And it is not a story who has end, a story who only appear in history books from the pass: on the contrary, it is something that continue ocurring now, such as continue the capital's wars, the massacres in other places, etc.

In this particular case, the problem is between a British powerful mining company and alliances of poor subsistence farmers and environmentalists. Actually, this corportation is facing a multimillion demand about claim for damages to protesters, who where allegedly tortured by police that, they say, is directing by Monterrico Metals, owner of this company.

Its evidence is a Peruvian journalist who also was detained with the protesters, and who received a series of photographs from a Monterrico supervisor, who, apeearly, change of position and give photographies that took about police operation. That shows how much difficult is to know the true of this cases: naturalized, it is not of commun sense to thing that a Britih companie would do that; and only with this lucky case we can remember that, as it was in the pass, today this companies continue using illegal or legal methods to make its mainly objetive: the accumulation of capital.
