From Ecopetrol they reported that there are disorders in the place which has prevented the development of the activity.

“The protesters broke into the place and prevented the entry of citizens, attacked the logistics personnel with a stone, affected the transmission equipment and forced their way into the transmission master and the space enabled for sign translation,” they indicated from the oil company

This space was designed to inform about the ‘fracking’ project that is expected to be developed in Puerto Wilches and for which there have been several protests against it.

“Due to alleged sabotage caused by a group of external people who attacked the physical infrastructure of the event, the transmission of the informative meeting for the Kalé Comprehensive Research Pilot Project was dropped. We are trying to solve problems to resume,” says the ANLA on its Twitter account. .

The objective of this space is to have “a two-way mechanism in which communities and authorities formulate their questions regarding the project and the environmental licensing process that is being evaluated by the ANLA,” they say from Ecopetrol.

And they add that “it is also intended to provide communities with more information on the scope and methodology for participation in the Environmental Public Hearing to be held on February 22.”

For its part, from the community they assure that Ecopetrol’s accusations are false and liars according to which “the demonstrators broke into the place and prevented the citizenry from entering, and attacked the logistics personnel with a stone, affected the transmission equipment and entered the Ecopetrol master’s program by force”.

The community pointed out that “these accusations trigger violent actions, stigmatize and criminalize peaceful protest and the members of the Alliance and the Puerto Wilches organizations.”
