A reader who works in the Montaña Mina area has contacted La Voz to report the state of one of the mills in the area.

Apparently, according to his testimony, one of the pieces of the mill is broken and every time it turns it emits a very loud and strange sound. Something that extremely worries the citizen, generating insecurity at the possibility that the blade "flies away at any moment", he says.

The worker acknowledges that "a month ago I contacted the Local Police of San Bartolomé to comment on the situation", but he does not know if any measures have been taken, since "they have not done anything about it", the man laments.

"My intention is to make known the state of the area", thus avoiding "any possible accident in the future", he says. Given that around the mills, there are "several sensitive facilities such as impulse pumps and a storage tank for regenerated water", he adds.

"An uncontrolled wind turbine is a very great danger", he warns. The man is clear: "I warn that if a wind of force five rises, it is like an unbridled horse," he concludes.
