“Today I have this to say, once again I’m going to be the rage of Chile and my words are going to hit the faces of the scoundrels who stole our country’s wealth like righteous punches. And I’m sure that as soon as Rather than the latter, the day will come when mining companies will have to return the copper to Chile,” Gaspar Rivas, a deputy of the Partido de la Gente, commented on Wednesday.
Deputy Gaspar Rivas (PDG) assured during the day this Wednesday that “if I were president of the republic, the mining companies would have to return the copper (to Chile)” and that “the only thing they (foreign companies) would take is In compensation this would be the only part of this shoe that is marked in the ass (sic).
He referred to the above during his speech at the last session in the Chamber of Deputies, where the mining royalty project for the exploitation of copper and lithium was sent for legislation.
After weeks of negotiations in Congress, the chamber today approved royalties for the exploitation of these minerals, with 101 votes in favor and 24 against.
It was there when Representative Rivas criticized the interference of foreign companies in national mines, pointing out that he considered himself “a popular nationalist”.

“I am against the neoliberal right, because the motherland does not tire of love only for the flag and the anthem that is not played. Which is being looted by foreign and national mining companies today.”
He said, “Copper was nationalized in a democracy, so I didn’t celebrate July 11 as a day of national dignity for a long time.”
“That is why I am a supporter of not only this bill, but also the renationalisation of copper, as I said about a decade ago,” he said.
“If I were president of the republic, the mining companies would have to return the copper and as compensation they would only mark the sole of this shoe on the ass (sic),” said the deputy for the fifth region, elated.
