The parliamentarian stated that the previous administration did not do so either, expressing his doubts regarding the non-use of a legitimate tool of the municipalities.
After a new session of the special investigative commission of the Dunar Field, deputy Andrés Celis raised his doubts regarding the actions of the municipality of Viña del Mar regarding construction in the dunes, questioning that despite having “a tool that is fundamental, that is to freeze construction permits” has not used it. But the parliamentarian went further, because although he indicated that during the Reginato administration “when there was already an explosive bomb in buildings, the permits were frozen in Limonares, in Recreo, in the eastern sector, parts of Jardín del Mar” he did not It was achieved in the dune sector, even though as a councilor in that period he requested it.
In this sense, the RN parliamentarian said that ”now the current mayor could also do it, since she took office, she could have asked the municipal council to freeze permits in the dune sector. And that request is made to the Seremi Minvu and previously to the municipal council and the current mayor has not done so. So, I wonder, why didn’t the last mayor do it? And why hasn’t this mayor done it? Are there vested interests, are there pressures, are there legal difficulties, are there regulations that prevent or threaten us with lawsuits that could be in the millions? There is something because neither the last mayor nor this mayor has been able to propose to the municipal council that it freeze the construction permits precisely where the sinkhole occurred today.”
On the other hand, Deputy Celis regretted that the commission was only attended by the Seremi of Housing and Urbanism Belén Paredes and Julio Ventura, Director of Works of the Municipality of Viña del Mar, despite the fact that the former mayor of Concón Oscar Sumonte was also invited. , Mayor Macarena Ripamonti and former Mayor Virginia Reginato, as well as Paulette Thiers, Director of Works of the Municipality of Concón and Osvaldo Urrutia, former director of the Communal Planning Secretariat of Viña del Mar. ”I think it is a bad sign from these authorities and former authorities so that we can have all the necessary background information, it seems that they are not interested in clarifying the chaotic situation that exists regarding the dunes, which by the way is very regrettable. I hope that as a commission we can insist on his presence because it seems relevant to me.”
