On the other side

Up to now, we have heard only the voice of the authorities who denounced the unjustified expenditure of 26 thousand 114 million pesos by Conaf, However, who provide daily services to this company are not disappointed with the words of the executive director Jose Manuel Rebolledo.

In addition, the president of the Federation of Trade Unions R de Conaf, Erry Leyva, said that "these plants are not Conaf, these plants come to inflate the budget because of a specific situation that is the mega-fire, therefore, these are the funds that Conaf has spent and that have not been replaced by the Ministry of the Interior.What the director speaks is not true, I ask him and I invite him to make this information transparent. "

Rebolledo, on the other hand, at the aforementioned conference, stated that the budget of Conaf corresponded to 90 billion and that it was not necessary to make this information transparent. there was no other income to manage. However, the former director of the National Forest Corporation (Conaf), Aaron Cavieres, said that "the minister does not know or understand what is the management of a financial institution. (…) Even union representative Erry Leyva said that the public denunciation made by the Minister of Agriculture and the director of Conaf was a political strategy to remove the attributions to society and deliver them. to the new Biodiversity and Protected Areas Service, a project that seven years ago, at the National Congress, there was a letter from the Minister of the Environment, Marcela Cubillos, about safeguarding the heritage

In this sense, the Executive Secretary of the College of Forest Engineers, Julio Torres, said: "We have doubts about the amounts that the director is questioning, because on the deficit of 26 billion there are 6 thousand that correspond to compensation s that are legal obligations and can not be considered in this black figure. The 10 billion fund for emergency situations is part of a fund that can be recovered through the Ministry of the Interior. Therefore, with these amounts, a good portion of this debt, it is argued, would be removed by the Director's badumption of misconduct or negligence on the part of Conaf. "

To this he added that" we are seeing a message regarding Conaf which will be the new National Forest Service of institutional weakness, where it has been shown that it would be practically bankrupt. What worries us is that in the middle of a legislative debate where we want to set up a Biodiversity Service that seeks allocations to forest resources and their management, these issues arise in Conaf and these issues do not take into account a historical process of underfunding the institution, because despite its importance, has a historical and systematic underfunding, added to the authorities that were not at the height of this service. We also find it problematic that the historical work of Conaf is judged with these financial problems and that it does not allow us to see the impeccable management that he has had. "

Conaf currently has 450 rangers while it should have 1500. It manages 14,000 hectares of forests with 17 billion pesos, which still maintains this institution with a deficit, since the sum of the claims and the Attention of emergency situations the budget becomes scarce, reports the representative of the College of Forest Engineers.
