The political direction here is simple - Martinelli wants to stay in power. This is priority number one - the second priority is to govern...

Right now Martinelli is trying to pass a law that will enable him to extend his term - this has his coalition government very strained and I am sure that Juan Carlos Varela is very nervous right now...

The PRD - the opposition has yet to pick its new leader - but the leader of the pack right is a guy named Juan Carlos Navarro - he is not very friendly to mining - so let's hope he does not become the leader of the PRD (the PRD is the largest political party in the country with over 600,000 voting members)

For me so long as we get a government that supports mining and gives the Indians their piece of Cerro Colorado then I am all for that...
