Citizen President:

I'm a writer born in Chile and a deep knowledge of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego. In many of my books translated to many languages \u200b\u200bis this life, people and dreams of the southern region that I love and defend with the same tenacity that healthy and peaceful inhabitants.

A few years ago from the offices where you now plays the role of government, and from the sleek coolness of some banks, we attempted to commit an environmental crime against Patagonia, specifically against the Aysen region. A company called Noranda, with mailing address in Canada and tax resident in the tax haven Cayman Islands, using the odious Chilean Water Law, one of the most liberal in the world, sought to block, stop its course, killing three rivers flowing into the Great Aysen Fjord, to build three hydroelectric plants that would power an aluminum plant, one of the industries pollutants, and a port for receiving the bauxite and other minerals. The opposition of the inhabitants of Aysen was very determined.

From the seriousness of an economic project, social and cultural alternative called "Aysén Life Project, approximately forty thousand inhabitants of Puerto Aysen, Puerto Chacabuco, Coyhaique and other towns with the crime of "entrepreneurs" would be seriously affected their lives, their culture and their hopes, their present and future were unfairly hurt by the then Finance Minister, Mr. Sergio Rodríguez Grossi, who said that, in macroeconomic terms forty thousand human beings were "no."

But those "no" were joined by other "no" throughout the world, because environmental concerns, ecological and for the sake of a sustainable economy is in the minds of future moves to millions of women and men who want to be citizens rather than consumers. These "no" asked a very simple and legitimate: an environmental impact study conducted by an independent scientific body, not by the same company driving the project or by a government directly involved and engaged in business interests. And those "no" were grossly classified as eco-terrorists failed to stop at least temporarily, one of the largest criminal attacks Patagonia.

I was one of those "no" Citizen President, I made a documentary called Green Heart, the film won an award at the Venice Film Festival, and served to the forty thousand or so "No" feel accompanied by hundreds of thousands of other "No" to defend Patagonia, the southernmost pristine world that is the heritage of all mankind. I am one of many that paralyzed "an investment of seven billion dollars," and as the rivers that tried kill still flowing into the Great Aysen Fjord, I assume that guilt with pride.

Now, city president, we face a new imbalance, a new attempt to end the life of one of the last unpolluted regions of the planet, so it is invaluable. The value of Patagonia, its vital nature, its people, their dreams and hopes, can not be determined or calculated, or presidential offices, or the stock market, much less ignoble council table shareholders of energy companies seeking approval of the mega project called Hidroaysén.

You, citizen president, declared a national monument to the Chilean horse, and rightly so. When he did, many felt satisfied because his statement superb horse saved the Chilean any genetic testing. Do not you think, city president, a line of national territory of 2300 kilometers long and one hundred meters wide, also deserves the same treatment to which they gave the Chilean horse? Are you able to imagine an area of \u200b\u200btwenty thousand acres? It is difficult to convert the numbers into an image. I invite you to imagine twenty-three thousand football stadiums, side by side. I imagine them full of trees, forests, not rough pine or eucalyptus plantations, but of noble Chilean native forest, forest of the wonderful diversity of wildlife that lives in those forests, and the people, the Chileans who know these forests and love. Hidroaysén, city president, means the complete deforestation, the destruction, the extermination of twenty thousand acres of Chilean forest.

Yes I can imagine that extension, because I know the Patagonia, because I love the Southern world, its people, their hopes and dreams, and that's why I oppose the realization of this crime against ecology and crimes against humanity Hidroaysén called.

a few days ago, Citizen President, you said that Adam and Eve were the first "entrepreneurs" because they dared to eat the forbidden fruit. Apart from the findings that have the Catholic Church or apple growers after his statement, may I remind you that Patagonia is not an apple, but a territory whose greatest value lies in its environmental purity, and inhabited by citizens of the Republic of Chile, for the same condition have the right to express their approval or disagreement with the draft Hidroaysén. But it happens that the "entrepreneurs" and instigators the environmental macrocrimen have ignored public opinion.

Environmental Impact Study for Hydroaysén has ignored public opinion, participation has not been free of pressures and ensuring democratic legality.

a report is flawed, and that you know, citizen president, and if not, consult his ministers. Until 13.30 hours on 26 April, the Environmental Impact Report was labeled as "maverick", but at 2 pm that same day and no more intervene officials of the Office of Development Department Urban and a man named Nicolas Terrazas turn Housing Ministry official, the evaluation of Environmental Impact Assessment step "maverick" to "compliant".

"Mighty Caballero Don Dinero" wrote the great Francisco de Quevedo y Villegas, because it happens to another member of the Terrazas family, namely Don Pablo's brother Nicholas, owns several land would be flooded if the project takes place Hidroaysén, ensuring a more juicy compensation.

Just this

Indeed, this detail, city president, conflict of interest taints (euphemism to hide the word corruption) all consideration on the Environmental Impact Study, from the strictest legality, recommended approval of the project stop Hidroaysén.

However, you occupied the highest office in the Republic of Chile, beyond the tricks devised by subordinates who should be fired so explosive, you should consider is facing history , who always judges, although late, but judges in a clear and forceful.

A near future a bust of him be seated in the gallery of the grim former Chilean presidents, and when a janitor will shake the dust with a feather duster to you to say that man with admiration, I'm dusting the bust of a former president who was saved from destruction to Patagonia, or just go over and refuses to dust off the image of the destroyer of one of the most beautiful and pure in the world. Up to you, citizen president.

With my highest consideration
