translated from Spanish: Deputy Verdessi located on the Government to commit social pact with Quintero and Puchuncaví faced possible closure of Windows

member of the democracy Crist IANA Daniel Verdessi expressed concern over the current economic and environmental state of the Codelco Windows cast.
“This company, for its antiquity, does not have a resolution of environmental qualification and in addition to the impact on these communities, there is a financial situation that today could serve his term; at least, so given billions of dollars losses indicate it publicly. Only in the last 10 years it has registered losses $457 million”, said Verdessi, parliamentarian for the area and a member of the Commission of inquiry. 
The legislator added that “this situation that is Windows that do not have adequate procedures and has due to make strong investments to tone, with a deficit that borders the US$ 30 billion a year – the reality today is worrying. By conversations we have had with the Government, the situation of Windows becomes increasingly unsustainable”.
Verdessi stressed that the plant is old and has no potential for improvement, but there are many workers whose families depend on this income, currently 1,200 producers of Coquimbo to O’Higgins processed their ore in smelting.
Verdessi made a summons the Government to “make this close and transfer to a new plant that has modern technology, do not repeat the situation of Lota, which generated a serious social problem with thousands of miners who were virtually no work and a reconversion that didn’t work”.
“Here we must make a suitable work together with officials and workers, if we are to do this, because it will be associated with the new environmental law. “There are several companies that do not comply with resolution of environmental qualification, because they are from before the year 1997 and this situation is unsustainable in the country”, said.
