COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT OF PANGUIPULLI
MAPUCHE INALAFKEN
- The company Endesa has made bad practices in our communities since arriving in our region to develop their studies and drilling. Did not respect private property and has deceived the elderly people who have no knowledge or understanding of what they offer you, so that he missed what he said in the Environmental Impact Study of High Tension Line Neltume Pullinque, which states: "Meetings and visits to affected landowners, requesting authorization for the demarcation of the area affected by the location of the works on the premises. It is intended that the persons affected can have a concrete picture of their involvement "(Chapter 11, p.12),

- We have doubts about the climatic conditions that offer the land to offset owners most affected by the Hydroelectric Neltume, which are located in Fundo shakes, where it snows much of the year making it a place not suitable for either livestock or food crops, the basis of our productive activity of our lives.

- fear for the peace of our people from the elderly, children, women and men due to the increase of floating population and the tasks for building projects Endesa Enel, we do not know what kind of people will come, and what are their customs, directly impacting the way we live and interact and peace of mind of all the people who inhabit Lake Neltume.

- No one says the impact that increased traffic of heavy vehicles (trucks, machinery, etc.) Carrying materials for the construction of the plant, because in this place are few vehicles passing by so we are not accustomed to that lifestyle.

- Hydroelectric Project contemplates moving Neltume Rehue (Palenque), where he performed and received Nguillatún neighboring communities to celebrate the Board. This directly affects us as it is a sacred place where we pay tribute Gnechen (god), and DHS wants to move because the plain where stands the Rehue be flooded due to the rise of the level of the lake.

- We are in a territory surrounded by volcanoes, and where the Liquiñe geological fault, so it is an area not suitable for the construction of a hydroelectric plant. Endesa Enel to complete your project, will endanger all the people who inhabit the place and so far nobody has said so, but we who know our area either so we have had our grandfathers and grandmothers, and others who live in the earthquake of 60 and know how mapu reacted (ground).

- Increasing the level of the lake's elevation affect the productive activity of all, as is the small passenger car to which you devote most of the people living along the lake. Our beaches are under water, and this is where we welcome visitors and have invested millions of pesos in the implementation of applications and infrastructure to enable the place.

- Wetlands found in the mouth of the Cua Cua have a high biological value as a source of biodiversity, so that Endesa Enel project endangers all the flora and fauna that inhabit them.

- The activities of plant construction and power line that will last about 5 years, cause the destination of Lake Neltume not welcome for tourists. The area will be transformed into a place of tasks, which cause noise and intervene the landscape.

the foregoing, we express the country that the problems we face because of the ENDESA ENEL projects are much more than those listed here, since from the professionals of the company arrived in the area doing consultations for their studies, we could not live in peace and our human relationships have been broken, we are sick, and we feel that our rights as individuals and as Mapuche have been violated, our culture has been passed to carry and government institutions so far have not been great support.

These are the reasons that lead us to reject categorically Endesa Enel energy initiatives, we do not want destroy our way of life that is linked to the landscape we inhabit, tranyenko (rivers), Huincul (hills), mahuisa (forest), Lafquen (lake), which also give us the medicinal herbs used for healing.

We call on institutions to take into account our situation and consciously manifest, as provided by law, and people across the country to support our requests, especially university professionals that can express this case, either by submitting your questions or disseminating this statement.
