Lo cual significa extender la moratoria de t\u00edtulos mineros que el Gobierno atinadamente declar\u00f3 hace unos meses.<\/p>\n<p>Y sumarle la suspensi\u00f3n de licencias ambientales hasta que se adopte una nueva legislaci\u00f3n minera. A la misma conclusi\u00f3n llega la petici\u00f3n que enviamos varios investigadores y organizaciones a los ministerios de Ambiente y Minas.<\/p>\n<p>La historia es la siguiente: hace 20 d\u00edas, el pa\u00eds se qued\u00f3 sin c\u00f3digo de minas. O mejor, se qued\u00f3 sin el c\u00f3digo de 2010 (ley 1382), que el Congreso hab\u00eda expedido para solucionar algunos de los graves problemas que ten\u00eda la vieja regulaci\u00f3n, que ven\u00eda de 2001 (ley 685).<\/p>\n<p>En el c\u00f3digo de 2001 no se le negaba un t\u00edtulo a nadie. No es una hip\u00e9rbole: en principio, se autorizaba a cualquiera que pidiera permiso para horadar el suelo o la monta\u00f1a en busca del dorado, sin que importara mucho la legalidad o viabilidad econ\u00f3mica de su empresa. De hecho, la antigua ley estaba hecha para atar las manos del Estado, que pod\u00eda negar el permiso s\u00f3lo en casos puntuales.<\/p>\n<p>De ah\u00ed que, como coment\u00e9 en una columna reciente, el mapa colombiano se llen\u00f3 de t\u00edtulos mineros durante la administraci\u00f3n Uribe. Si miran hoy el mapa, ver\u00e1n que hay m\u00e1s de 9.000 t\u00edtulos, muchos de los cuales fueron reconocidos a oportunistas de todo tipo, desde avivatos rebuscadores hasta testaferros de las bacrim y las Farc, pasando por grandes empresas mineras que aprovecharon para pedir t\u00edtulos aun en parques naturales, p\u00e1ramos y humedales.<br \/>\nAunque el c\u00f3digo de 2010 estaba lejos de solucionar todos los vac\u00edos, s\u00ed atend\u00eda algunos de los m\u00e1s urgentes. Por ejemplo, impon\u00eda condiciones b\u00e1sicas para calificar para un t\u00edtulo, exclu\u00eda los p\u00e1ramos y parques del mapa minero y volv\u00eda m\u00e1s exigente la renovaci\u00f3n de los t\u00edtulos.<\/p>\n<p>El problema es que el gobierno Uribe decidi\u00f3 ignorar el deber legal de consultar el c\u00f3digo de 2010 con ind\u00edgenas y afros. De modo que la Corte Constitucional no tuvo otra alternativa que declararlo inconstitucional en 2011. Para evitar el retorno a la vieja legislaci\u00f3n, le dio dos a\u00f1os al Gobierno para consultar y expedir nuevas reglas para la locomotora minera.<\/p>\n<p>Pues bien: los dos a\u00f1os se vencieron el pasado 11 de mayo sin que el Ministerio de Minas hiciera la tarea. Enredado en su propia desidia y en la descoordinaci\u00f3n con el Ministerio del Interior y el de Ambiente, no convoc\u00f3 a tiempo las consultas y dej\u00f3 al pa\u00eds sin una regulaci\u00f3n para la locomotora. El resultado es que volvi\u00f3 a regir la laxa legislaci\u00f3n de 2001, apenas con unos parches que aplic\u00f3 el ministro Rengifo en unos decretos de \u00faltima hora.<br \/>\nLos remiendos ya comienzan a hacer agua. Con argumentos jur\u00eddicos irrefutables, las mineras formales y los grupos irregulares comienzan a pedir t\u00edtulos y renovaciones al amparo del antiguo c\u00f3digo de 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Lo que hace falta es una pol\u00edtica ambiental que merezca ese nombre, plasmada en un nuevo c\u00f3digo de minas, debidamente consultado con los grupos \u00e9tnicos y otros afectados. Todo indica que eso es lo que quiere el ministro de Ambiente, que nos recuerda que estamos en uno de los pa\u00edses m\u00e1s biodiversos del mundo y el tercero m\u00e1s afectado por el cambio clim\u00e1tico. Pero el Ministerio de Ambiente tiene un presupuesto y un equipo diminutos en comparaci\u00f3n con el de Minas, y con la legi\u00f3n de asesores de las empresas.<br \/>\nHasta que haya una pol\u00edtica coherente y reglas de juego claras, la locomotora seguir\u00e1 sin rieles. Entre tanto, no hay otro remedio sensato que estacionarla.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given that the mining locomotive was left without the rules that allowed setting up its rails, there is no other alternative than to &#8220;put the house in order,&#8221; as the Minister of Environment told this daily.
