Their right of path on a public road was obstructed following which company representatives verbally abused the activists and violently attempted to stop them filming this incident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eldorado Gold (ELD), a Canadian low-cost gold company, that plans to develop the first open-pit mine in Romania using cyanide. The Certej deposit is held by Deva Gold SA, a joint-venture between Eldorado Gold (80%) and the state-owned company Minvest Deva (~20%). The proposal has been faced with strong opposition at the national and international level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Tuesday, March 28th, several Mining Watch activists drove to Certej to verify the legality of on-going construction work. In order to do this, the activists needed to read the construction panels which had been put up for the respective works. According to relevant legislation such panels need to be put up in places easily visible and accessible for the public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the activists were ready to leave, their car, positioned on a public road (DC 24A), was suddenly blocked in by a car belonging to Deva Gold\u2019s security company. As the company representatives refused to clear the road and verbally aggressed the activists, the later called the police.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tensions continued to rise and culminated in a Deva Gold employee aggressively snatching the phone filming the event from one of the activists. Footage documenting the violent incident can be viewed here:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fromaniafaracianura%2Fvideos%2F1731178996896039%2F&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA company that has nothing to hide does not block activists. This Canadian company is using bullying tactics to discourage Romanian citizens from finding out what really is going on and intimidating those disagreeing with the mine and its excessive use of cyanide. This company has clearly forgotten that Certej is not their private playground and that they must respect the laws of our country\u201d says Roxana Pencea, one of the activists present at Certej.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Romania Deva Gold has a long-standing reputation for not acting according to the rules. To mention but two examples: in 2014, Mining Watch discovered construction works that turned out to be illegal [1]. And just last year, in 2016, their works were stopped by a court decision [2].<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The activists escaped the incident unharmed but shocked and have since filed an official complaint with the police. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notes:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[1] <a href=\"https:\/\/miningwatch.ro\/sitenou\/en\/certej-official-confirmations-of-illegal-building-permit-the-national-construction-authority-demands-the-permits-annulment\/\">Certej: Official confirmations of illegal building permit.
