Concerns Raised Over New Mineral Resources Law Amid Property Disputes
Growing legal uncertainty and potential conflict are emerging surrounding a new law governing mineral resource permits. Environmental groups are expressing significant concerns regarding the legislation, specifically citing instances where a mining company secured permits prior to acquiring land rights – a practice they argue directly violates the property-legal status of landowners. The organization “Healthy Valley” has formally appealed to President Gordana Siljanovska Davkova, urging her to withhold her signature on the law.
Their appeal centers on prioritizing the rights of citizens and landowners over potential corporate profits. “Healthy Valley” contends the legislation represents a critical juncture, positioning the President as the last legal safeguard against what they term “death miners” and their pursuit of profit at the expense of public well-being. The group argues the law establishes a dangerous constitutional precedent.
The organization’s statement highlighted the potential for the law to function as an “ecological bomb,” while simultaneously posing a threat to constitutional protections. The appeal emphasizes the need to balance economic development with the fundamental rights of residents and landowners. Further details regarding the specific provisions of the new law are currently under review.
