Ecologists annul pact with the government





Signed with Bachelet when she was presidential candidate in 2005. Three times the Bachelet administration denied the referred point not to include the nuclear option in the power policy, according to the environmentalists. Reason sufficient to evict the commitment to support its management. Their darts aim at Marcelo Tokman. The Nation, 23 of April of 2008.

The decision was taken days ago and it only lacked to give him to warning to the minister Secretary General of the Presidency, Jose Antonio See-Rooster, which happened yesterday in afternoon in the Currency. The environmentalist and ecological organizations evicted the agreement that signed with the then candidate Michelle Bachelet the 21 of November of 2005 in the Botanical Garden Chagual, that contained ten commitments for a sustainable development, because its administration did not fulfill it.

The main argument is the repeated violation of point 7 of the decalogue: “Not to include the nuclear option in the national power policy”. According to the letter which they gave See-Rooster, that commitment was transgressed in more than an occasion.

First, with the decree of March of the year last of the Ministry of Mining that creates the presidential commission “Work group in Nucleus-Electricity” with bottoms public superior to the 100 million weights for its work, which was reiterated in the shipment to the Parliament of the budget of the nation for this year where financing for that same group is included.

Second, with the participation of Marcelo Tokman the past 27 of March in the seminary “nuclear Energy: an option for Chile ", where the minister of Energy announced two million dollars to evaluate the incorporation of the nuclear energy in the electrical matrix of the country which they would repeat the 2009. “That one was not a seminary, but a lobby of the nuclear companies”, says one of the environmentalists.

See-Rooster said that the President will respond to them in the next ones and who she will raise the subject in the political committee. The name of Tokman was the one that was repeated more in half an hour of meeting. “(See-Rooster) it said Us that the announcements of Tokman must to the power conjuncture and to the pressures of different sectors. But he was intentionally very vague in its sayings ", tells one of the assistants to the appointment. The environmentalists raised that the only thing whom its position would change it would be the resignation of the minister of Energy. “But we know that that is not going to happen”.

The environmentalists, nevertheless, recognize that she advanced in some points: the formulation of the projects of law for the creation of the Ministry of Environment and the Supervision of Environmental Control, the creation of the National Service of Parks and the elaboration of the Integral Strategy of River basins. But they notice that little or nothing became in the establishment of a System of Environmental River basins and lines of fiscal policy for the environmental sustentabilidad; the extension of the Bottom of Environmental Protection; the glacier protection and not to open passage commercial to the transgénicos cultures.

Today the representatives of the 23 organizations who signed the agreement of Chagual will make a press conference (10: 30 hours), in the offices of the Office of the public prosecutor of Medio Ambiente (FIMA) to give greater details on the reasons of the aim of the environmental pact with the Government.
