Wide Angle PBS - Gold Futures
Last week Canadian Gold Mine Gabriel was stopped in Romania where in 2000 an Australian-Romanian gold mine caused massive cyanide disaster that left the whole region poisoned for 20 years. The company put out their own propaganda "Mine your own business" in which they point out that it's the Hungarians who try to stop Romanians from doing "development". They also assault George Soros who's a hero in Eastern Europe for helping NGOs fight the good fight.
Using ethnic tension for monetary gain in that part of the world is a very irresponsible behavior and shows that mining companies have no regard for indigenous cultures and would do anything to exploit local resources. Luckily the licensing of the mine was suspended on the 13th of September by the Romanian Environmental Ministry.
