Daba como ejemplo sus intervenciones en el caso de la mina de oro de La Colosa, en Tolima, que busca explotar la empresa AngloGold Ashanti. Al leer los documentos del caso y visitar la zona, es claro que la Procuradur\u00eda se ha convertido en el obst\u00e1culo principal para las comunidades y autoridades que se oponen a la mina por el profundo impacto que tendr\u00eda sobre el agua, la agricultura y el medio ambiente. Por ejemplo, viene apoyando los recursos jur\u00eddicos de AngloGold contra Cortolima y pidi\u00e9ndole a \u00e9sta que revoque las medidas que ha tomado para evitar los da\u00f1os ambientales que podr\u00edan ocasionar los estudios de suelos de la empresa en el municipio de Piedras.<\/p>\n<p>En todo esto, la Procuradur\u00eda ha seguido el patr\u00f3n de sus actuaciones en otros temas: interpretar las normas en contra de los derechos de los ciudadanos y usar su desbordado poder para intimidar a los funcionarios que los protejan, con la amenaza velada de destituci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Los datos aportados por los lectores muestran que en este tema se cumple tambi\u00e9n otro patr\u00f3n del modus operandi de la Procuradur\u00eda: se trata, en realidad, de una cruzada ideol\u00f3gica y personal del procurador.<\/p>\n<p>Apenas un a\u00f1o antes de ser elegido, Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez public\u00f3 una diatriba contra el ecologismo que no deja dudas sobre su opini\u00f3n. En el libro El nuevo derecho, el nuevo orden mundial y la revoluci\u00f3n cultural, se despacha contra la ONU y el derecho internacional, incluyendo la protecci\u00f3n del medio ambiente. La raz\u00f3n de la cr\u00edtica es religiosa. Para el hoy procurador, la defensa del medio ambiente significa que \u201cel hombre como centro del mundo ha sido desplazado y reemplazado por la Madre Naturaleza, y hasta ha resurgido el mito pagano de la Diosa Gaia\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Si le sorprende esta cita, le interesar\u00e1 esta otra, tan diciente que vale la pena traerla completa. \u201cLa preocupaci\u00f3n ecologista manifestada en la proliferaci\u00f3n de ONGS (sic) con ese objetivo y de partidos verdes, no s\u00f3lo se explican (sic) por la crisis medioambiental sino que responde a la agenda pol\u00edtica que dise\u00f1\u00f3 la ONU, para practicar el m\u00e1s ambicioso proyecto de reingenier\u00eda social de que se tenga noticia en la historia de la humanidad, s\u00f3lo comparable con el realizado por POL-POT (sic) en Camboya, la \u00fanica diferencia es el car\u00e1cter violento del \u00faltimo, aunque \u00e9ste con el aborto y la eugenesia tambi\u00e9n ti\u00f1e sus manos con la sangre de los inocentes\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>De modo que la protecci\u00f3n del medio ambiente, un deber constitucional de la Procuradur\u00eda, es para el procurador una conspiraci\u00f3n global contra lo que \u00e9l representa. Es una reforma contra la que hay que desatar otra contrarreforma, otra cruzada personal de Ord\u00f3\u00f1ez.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00f3lo as\u00ed se entiende, por ejemplo, que el procurador haya enviado recientemente al Ministerio de Ambiente una carta que combina una ferviente defensa de la miner\u00eda, cr\u00edticas a las medidas del ministerio para prevenir los da\u00f1os ambientales que causar\u00eda y dudosos argumentos jur\u00eddicos sobre \u201cderechos adquiridos\u201d de las empresas. Y remata con recomendaciones que favorecer\u00edan los intereses mineros en zonas estrat\u00e9gicas como el p\u00e1ramo de Santurb\u00e1n.<\/p>\n<p>Como toda cruzada, esta va para largo. Habr\u00e1 que estar atentos.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to information sent by several readers, I see that my last column fell short in criticizing the pressure that the Inspetor General&#8217;s office asserts on  public officers protecting the environment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1615],"tags":[1841,1803,2256,2216,2374,2688,2348,2651],"class_list":["post-28233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-environmental-justice","tag-alejandro-ordonez","tag-colombia","tag-constitucion","tag-medio-ambiente","tag-mineria","tag-ministerio-de-ambiente","tag-procuraduria","tag-united-nations-en-3","subcategory-natural-resources","medium-el-espectador-en","post-scope-aaa-not-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v25.9) -
