translated from Spanish: Chacao: former MOP minister called Hyundai’s tone “surprising”

Former MOP minister Alberto Undurraga referred in conversation with Emol TV to the controversy between the split and the Hyundai company, controller of Concesionaria Puente Chacao, over the construction that takes place in the Los Lagos region.
Undurraga, who led OO.PP. during Michelle Bachelet’s second term, said that “there is no unfulfilled commitment to the Chacao Bridge regarding our government. None,” after the company accused the state of offering no guarantees and said the Piñera administration failed to honor agreements taken under the previous government.
“What Hyundai claims is that during the engineering process some of the adjustments that were made go beyond the contract. And the opinion of lawyers and road technicians, in our government and in the current one, is that that’s Hyundai’s responsibility. Here it is not in dispute whether or not the work is done, but who pays for it,” Undurraga added.
The former MOP minister said he was not surprised by the existence of controversies in the negotiation, but did maintain that the tone in which Hyundai raised its demands “is very surprising.”
Undurraga also suggested that the government prevent the issue from being scaled to the courts of justice, and called for an alternative solution, such as “a panel of concessions” or an arbitration.
