Through messages and communications of the assembly of autoconvocated neighbors of USPALLATA disseminated since this morning the arrest of Mauricio Cornejo and the search of two houses of other references of the fight against the San Jorge Megaminería project in Uspallata was made known. Mauricio Cornejo is one of the neighbors who has been part of the massive mobilizations against San Jorge and was the one who defended the partner whom the Uocra patota broke the partition and ended up being national news.
The raided neighbors are suspected that they are the referents of the USPALLATA Assembly that have been leading a fight of which we are Miles.
The Judicial Mafia of the Gob. Alfredo Cornejo advances with raids and arrests of referents of the Uspallata residents assembly for water. They seek to criminalize the fight against contaminating mining of San Jorge on the Mendoza River. Immediate freedom to colleagues!

We reject the political persecution of the cornejo government that intends to silence the opposition voices to a project that has no social license and that is rejected 15 years ago. To this very serious fact is added the attempt to censors the protagonist of the police sent by Cornejo to Radio La Mosquitara to avoid the projection of HAM the documentary that tells the story of the struggle for water in Mendoza in 2019.
The houses of lxs companions of the assembly of autoconvocated neighbors of Uspallata arrest and pave for being the face of a thousands fight, not to say no to San Jorge! Total repudiation of this political persecution! Cornejo wants to impose with antidemocratic methods the megamineria

The criminalization of the protest is a registered brand of Cornejo, both to union leaders and referents and to fighters and fighters for water, so we have to redouble solidarity and mobilization in the streets so that it is advanced judicial against the defense of water And our natural goods does not happen.
