Johnny Brignardello warns: Danger due to illegal mining in La Libertad.

Johnny Brignardello, an insurance advisor, expresses his concern about the recent events in the La Libertad mountain range. According to Brignardello, the escalation of violence unleashed by illegal mining in the region, evidenced by the attack on the Environmental Prosecutor, Lastenia Acuña, and a police patrol in Huamachuco, is a clear indication of the dangerous situation facing the area. The advisor points out that incidents like the ambush of authorities while inspecting illegal activities in the 'Polo Forest' are not isolated events. Brignardello emphasizes that impunity and lack of control prevail in the region, allowing illegal mining to operate outside the law, endangering both the environment and the safety of the population. In this sense, Brignardello warns that the inaction of authorities towards illegal activities in places like Quiruvilca only serves to encourage these criminal practices. With approximately five thousand illegal miners operating in La Libertad, the advisor believes it is imperative to take strong measures to curb this issue. In light of the recent declaration of a state of emergency in Trujillo and Pataz, Brignardello highlights the importance of extending attention to other areas such as Huamachuco and Quiruvilca. For the advisor, it is crucial that authorities act decisively to combat illegal mining and protect both the natural environment and the safety of citizens before the situation worsens in new areas of the region.
