The Chilean Observer

"No podemos seguir así" says senate´s president Adolfo Zaldívar on todays El Mercurio. And continue ...

"... Bueno sería despejar si efectivamente hay nexos entre ex altos ejecutivos de la cuprera que formaron empresas propias para luego ofrecer sus servicios como contratistas..."

I wonder several days ago about why everybody focused on Codelco´s conflict and contractor´s employees, but nobody speaks about contractor companies and their owners. May be because there it lays the whole problem, and nobody, until now, is focusing on the real issue. I wonder why TVN, C13, CHV, MEGA and written media are not dealing with the issue, is because they dont have competent journalists? you tell me.

I can remember several years ago when Mr. Davila case explode. He dealt with several local brokers on copper futures, and the partners of those brokerage companies were some Codelco officers and ex officers, and politicians relatives of course. But at that time we, and the media, focused on the US$100MM and Davila, but not the executives behind him. The story is similar, they continue stealing Codelco and Chilean people.

Good some politicians are taking the lead to stop this. We need more politicians that care for chile, not themselves.
