Recently where I live a copper mining project that has existed since 1998 renegotiated its contract to provide 360 million dollars per year to the government in royalties (instead of the prior 20 million dollars per year) this royalty increase was almost unanimously approved by the government, however within hours protestors took to the streets now that the mine was in the public eye. The protestors blocked all major transport routes in the country, preventing one half of the country from getting fuel and goods, and the other half from getting fresh produce for over a month. Eventually they got what they wanted and the mine is being shut down, however the opportunity cost is that now there are 10s of thousands of unemployed individuals that were depending on the mine (in a small country), the countries bonds are now junk bonds and the credit rating has gone down twice, and the country no longer has the 360 million dollar per year royalty agreement which would have allowed them to pay off some of their IMF debt, continue to fund the many subsidies that the growing population has become accustomed to and prevent the Panama canal from dying by introducing new water sources to the reservoirs.
