Actuaciones administrativas de Bogotá frente al caso Río Tunjuelo y sus afectaciones por la extracción minera de la empresa Holcim Colombia

Abstract

This research work analyzes the position of the state administration during the last ten (10) years, regarding the extractivism activity developed by the multinational Holcim Colombia SA in the middle basin of the Tunjuelo river, through the information provided by the competent state entities of the petition rights filed, with which it was possible to evidence which have been the administrative decisions taken on this issue. Likewise, as an observation research instrument, a field diary was made, in which the relevant data and information obtained regarding the current state of the Tunjuelo river basin were recorded, by means of a tour from its source to the mouth of the river. Similarly, the conflict of competences between state authorities was evidenced, which by virtue of their functions have made different decisions regarding the extractivist activity in the Tunjuelo river in a disjointed manner, as well as the monitoring and control of this activity in compliance with the current regulations that apply to the case, taking into account that the authorization for extraction is suspended and that the lack of synergy between the entities has caused the failure to submit the restoration plans of the affected territories.
