As previously announced, was held yesterday in Lake Neltume the scheduled meeting between communities affected by the challenged Neltume hydroelectric project, which ENDESA SPAIN-ITALY tries desperately to impose the Mapuche communities and citizens of Panguipulli (a World Biosphere Reserve) and the entire region of rivers.
The meeting was committed the presence of Mr. Melinao, CONADI Regional Director (National Corporation for Indigenous Development). Melinao director did not attend, and sent two junior officers. This caused the upset of the attendees, who decided to send a letter expressing, once again, their dissatisfaction to the regional authorities for the little interest shown to the public. They contrasted this with the urgency and diligence they have when it comes to talking to the foreign company. Recalled as a few weeks ago, public services, which only appeared in number from five to talk to the community, were complete, a number close to 20, when it came to talking with ENDESA, a site visit.
The two officers received the letter and withdrew after a brief conversation.
communities and organizations attending the meeting decided to continue with the following agreements:
1. Developing a Defense Plan and Sustainable Development Planning,
2. Going to higher levels in the country and abroad,
3. Continue mobilized and vigilant against any new attempt of aggression by the company.
