(via World Bank: Stand with the people of El Salvador against OceanaGold's greedy bullying! | SumOfUs)
OceanaGold is dead set on making El Salvador pay for rejecting a disastrous gold mine. The proposed mine would contaminate the last remaining clean water sources in the entire country. Now, the mining giant is taking the tiny country to a World Bank tribunal and suing it for a whopping $301 million.
After being a pawn in the Cold War, El Salvador has returned to being a right-wing feudal state. The oligarchs might have the money to pay off the suit, but it's squirelled away in banks far from the reach of the World Bank. You know the nation will end up having to pay, thus reducing services that people as dirt poor in this picture recieve...assuming that they get any public services.
