García claims the previous municipal government of Rancho Grande was in bed with the Canadian mining company, but the new authorities who took power in January are taking a stronger stance in defense of a conservationist platform.
On Thursday, the community of Rancho Grande, led by a local environmentalist group called the “The Guardians of Yaoska” (named after the river that flows through Matagalpa) is organizing a march against B2Gold’s mining operations in Matagalpa.
It remains to be seen whether that protest will be a violent repeat of last month’s protest in Santo Domingo.
