Grupo México fue colocado ayer aparentemente en la mira del PRI, y los resortes de la poderosa minera saltaron hasta arrojar no sólo acusaciones directas contra el corporativo de los Larrea de que son una empresa terriblemente violatoria de todas las normas legales y de convivencia con las comunidades, al extremo de practicar el racismo por la oriundez, y de que cuando menos debe poner 5 mil millones de pesos para el resarcimiento de lo que en Sonora cometió, y no solamente los 2 mil millones que pregona. Y, además, de que debe el Gobierno federal plantearse con seriedad cancelar la concesión de la mina de Cananea.

Baja Mining Corp. wishes to provide an update regarding the Boleo Project, in which it holds a 10% interest, and the impact of Hurricane Odile that hit the Baja Peninsula earlier in the week. Baja understands that although the hurricane was downgraded to a tropical storm in the region of Santa Rosalia, heavy rains and high winds in the area knocked out electricity and communications. Baja has been informed by Minera y Metalúrgica del Boleo S.A. P.I. de CV. and Korea Resources Corporation that there has been no notable damage to the project site and communications have been restored at the site but that the activity at the Boleo Project remains halted while the site is inspected and until clean-up is completed.

Cuando Germán Larrea dejó al gobierno del presidente Peña Nieto la advertencia de que se verían en los tribunales, su abogado era Fernando Gómez Mont, y llegó a Los Pinos su versión de que le habían pedido 200 millones de dólares para resolver el conflicto, dinero que, dijo, sería utilizado para las campañas políticas, se endureció la postura oficial.
