HidroAysén

Hi guys,

Today I` m going to talk about the politic topic in vogue in these days: “HIDROAYSEN”.
I think the mass demonstrations of the last time have been amazing expression of the dissatisfied of the people with the government and his political and economical decisions.

HidroAysén is management of Endesa and Colbún S. A. the most important companies of electricity generator of the country.
Now, I´m make a brief history of the project: In the year 2005, with technical, environmental and social researches, beginning the first phase of the project “HidroAysén”. Then, in August 2007 HidroAysén to show the project to consider the construction of five hydroelectric powers stations to the CONAMA (National Commission of Environment of Chili). And one week later the project was a pass for the research of the Environment impact.
In November 2010, HidroAysén suspend the process of environment evaluation.
Claudio Meier, expert engineer of the Concepción University who charge of the checking the Impact Environment Study or Research, find many errors, incomplete information and wrong presentation in the report.  
Finally, the project was approving the last May, 9 for the authorities of Piñera´s government. And this decision was repudiate for a high percentage of the population in Chili for the Environment impact what the construction of the reservoirs to involve.

Personally, I agree with the protest against HidroAysén, but, I would like the people to protest with these strong against many topics like a public education, antiterrorist law, Mapuche´s conflict or the new law of maternity benefit.

public education free education


The education should be free, but the model neoliberal of our economy is far away of that.
This faith in particularly is against the State guarantee´s credit, who involve the possibility of privates universities also can get money for the state for educations concepts. And at the same time the state is only the bank guarantee, because the student´s debt is with a bank institution. In other words is a way to make private what is left of public education.
We can expect from a president businessman -one of the richest of the country- and a minister of education who owns a university?
The process of privatization beginning in Pinochet´s dictatorship between in the seventies, but, after that the governments of the “new left”, were unable in twenty years of government back to doing public education.  With less reason will do this government of “right”.
The situation is awful, these’s not the Chili we can left our children, a country of inequality, where the poor into debt and the rich richer, and gets bigger the breach between social classes
Moreover, on the marches, I think that the repression of students and people realize a terrible ignorance and arrogance. Do not know how to govern without violence! Neither the right nor the "Concertacion". 
These´s not a free democracy!!! 
Thanks Beatriz for put in the table this topic, is very important for as thinking about it.
