This Wednesday marked the conclusion of the 5th day of the Public Hearing for PSJ Cobre Mendocino. The hearing will continue in person until Thursday, August 7, with the virtual stage starting on Friday, August 8, at 9:00 AM via the Zoom platform.
With the closing of this fifth session, the process has reached the halfway point of the participatory stage, where speakers have been expressing support for the PSJ Cobre Mendocino Project.
Key highlights include the strong presence of the Uspallata community and the participation of attendees from different parts of the Province: people from Greater Mendoza—mainly from Las Heras—as well as from the South and East of the Province, reflecting the community’s broad commitment.
In addition, various institutions, business chambers, and environmental organizations have also contributed their testimony, adding institutional perspectives to the debate.
