La lucha por Kimsakocha: resistencia contra la minería en Azuay, Ecuador \ The struggle for Kimsakocha: resistance against mining in Azuay, Ecuador
Bibliographic record
Abstract
En Ecuador, hay una “reprimarización” de la economía, un fenómeno por el que se produce una creciente dependencia en exportaciones de productos primarios como recursos no renovables. Este fenómeno ha sido acompañado con una retórica estatal sobre pobreza y deuda social. Para el gobierno del estado, la industria extractiva es parte importante de su estrategia y retórica para hacer inversión social y combatir la pobreza, lo cual ha justificado una rápida expansión del sector extractivista. En el sur de Ecuador, la gente de las parroquias de Victoria del Portete y Tarqui ha estado luchando por más de 15 años contra un proyecto minero de oro operado por la empresa canadiense INV Metals. La resistencia en Kimsakocha es una lucha emblemática por la soberanía y los derechos, un obstáculo para el modelo extractivista-capitalista. La fase de exploración ya ha impactado a las comunidades, introduciendo divisiones entre comunidades y a veces entre familias. El activismo en Victoria del Portete y Tarqui ha bajado mucho en los últimos años, pero todavía el sentimiento contra la mina es el mismo. La lucha continúa en formas diversas: en lo jurídico, en monitoreos comunitarios de las actividades de la empresa, en talleres para fortalecer organizativamente a la comunidad. En el caso de Victoria del Portete y Tarqui, las mujeres han estado y están al frente de la resistencia. La lucha va a continuar con una indignación justa, con comunidades que están imaginando otra forma de vida, basada en relaciones con, no contra, la naturaleza. \ In Ecuador, there is a "reprimarization" of the economy, a phenomenon increasing dependence on exports of primary products as non-renewable resources. This phenomenon has been accompanied by a state rhetoric about poverty and social debt. For him government, extractive industry is an important part of its strategy and rhetoric for social investment and combating poverty, which has justified a rapid expansion of the extractivist sector. In southern Ecuador, people from the parishes of Victoria del Portete and Tarqui has been fighting for more than 15 years against a gold mining project operated by the Canadian company INV Metals. The resistance in Kimsakocha is an emblematic struggle for the sovereignty and rights, an obstacle to the extractivist-capitalist model. The exploration has already impacted communities, introducing divisions between communities and times between families. Activism in Victoria del Portete and Tarqui has fallen a lot in the years, but still the feeling against the mine is the same. The struggle continues in different forms: in legal, in community monitoring of the activities of the company, in workshops to strengthen the community organizationally. In the case of Victoria del Portete and Tarqui, the women have been and are at the head of the resistance. The fight will continue with a righteous indignation, with communities that are imagining another way of life, based on relationships with, not against, nature.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
