[SEPA / Journal Weight] The striking performance of the Chilean authorities to the most important tragedy occurred in the past 30 years has exposed the weaknesses of a country previously considered, as an example of organization and "seriousness" in Latin America.
Michelle Bachelet, a surprising gesture of pride he rejected at first international aid, while the death toll continued to grow: "... Chile can only with the problem, we have experience ...", later added "... we're thinking ..." until the reality set in and recognized that alone could not.
diplomat José Miguel Insulza , also escaped the terrible denial of reality when he stated "... we have experience of the past ... no big deal ... we have everything under control ...."
earthquake took only three minutes to destroy the scenery "first-world country" armed Chile and expose those who misled the people of Chile showing a distorted picture of reality. "... no one is prepared for this ..." finally acknowledged President Michelle Bachelet , whose decisions have shifted surprised by the solidarity as a priority over people injured, without food or water.
Many Chileans are questioning the control of standards for building and some MEPs, who will take his seat in the upcoming parliamentary replacement have advanced to request an investigation to establish responsibility for authorizations for housing, including the National Prosecutor asking law enforcement and establish accountability.
Santiago Airport, for example, suffered damage considerations in their structures, completely unarmed panels, two access bridges destroyed, false drop ceilings, broken pipes, wet and dry network, damage to electronic systems, including others. Were these seismic structures? What is the limit of seismic resistance of buildings? Questions to be investigating the experts and the Chilean justice system. In fact, some buildings were intact and many of the most recent collapse.
Highways transferred to the private sector, once presented as an example of public-private investment, not resisted and destroyed. Notably state had huge subsidies in addition to user fees.
collapsed level crossings, embankments, pedestrian walkways and bridges, killing and injuring many people, and disrupting the connectivity of the roads, leaving thousands of families stranded. Not so with old roads and bridges, built in the past by the State.
Many wonder what happened to neoliberal defense of the efficiency of the private sector and its ability to meet the needs of population?
Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service of the Navy (SHOA) and the National Emergency Office (ONEMI), had committed criminal negligence in not alerting the tsunami, which left defenseless coastal and island populations of the country, which were the hardest hit in terms of the number of dead, wounded, missing and injured.
authorities then took nearly 24 hours to recognize the tsunami that struck the coast of Constitution, Ilocos, Pelluhue, Curanipe , Talcahuano, Concepción, Contulmo, Juan Fernandez and other locations, thus delaying the delivery of assistance. Meanwhile the highest authorities declared "... we have everything under control ..."
The slowness and lack of coordination of the authorities isolated large areas of the country were no water, no food, no shelter, no power and without fuel. No aid can be understood that the fourth day of the disaster to the most affected localities. Meanwhile the government overreacting to people without food and basic items to survive, take out milk, diapers, flour and other goods from warehouses or supermarkets.
The government [and media] are focused on the looting, generating a climate of psychosis before the excesses of some criminals who took advantage of the situation. Provided for the deployment of more than 12,000 uniformed men "with orders to shoot." looting was awarded a dimension disproportionate to the need of people who were losing their lives. The government has prioritized the protection of private ownership of large stores and supermarkets, rather than the lives of thousands of Chileans.
words "plunder" and "looting" were most used on TV, while regional authorities asked for military intervention, the curfew and the state of siege. Many traders took economic speculation its best [sold for $ 4 a bottle of water or a kilo of bread].
still surprised by the statements of the Ambassador of Chile in Washington, José Goñi, when he said: "Chile is more like Japan and Haiti to deal with natural disasters ... for now we will not need outside help."
Today has been organized [with the participation of Sebastián Piñera and Michelle Bachelet ] show "Chile aid Chile " to raise funds for the tragedy. President-elect to participate Sebastián Piñera, the helicopter had to get from where he witnessed the tragedy.
