Today, the entire local opposition called for a massive demonstration against mining. Every political party joined the call, along with 90% of all NGOs, universities, churches, and activist groups. They ran a month-long mainstream media and social media campaign, had the backing of the country’s most powerful news outlets, chose a holiday (Sunday) so no one had to work, organized preparatory events, and more. This is what they achieved. It’s clear there is no opposition without USAID money 😂
