An awareness campaign called "think about the future of Patagonia" and act "conscience" began last week the Defense Council of Patagonia (CDP) through its website, alongside high school students from the region and Citizen Movement in Patagonia without Dams the main parade of Coyhaique have been installed since this weekend with pictures that represent the members of the Commission for Environmental Assessment (CEA), the Intendant Pilar Cuevas, 10 regional secretaries and ministerial regional director of the Environmental Assessment Service.

In the case of CDP, called on the link http://bit.ly/CEA-Aysen is to write "to manifest in the vote what she said most of Chile, from north to south, many times: Patagonia without Dams ", for which report their emails and phone institutional, management of their public offices and twitter through which broadcast their governmental action, along with a photograph of the officials.

In this sense, the journalist of the Defense Council of Patagonia (CDP) and the Citizens' Coalition Aysen Life Reserve Coalition (ARV), Patricio Segura, said that "the call is to Chilean authorities make known their views on this project, as part of the democratic right of participation. The tenor of this initiative is possible www.patagoniasinrepresas.cl review site, where in no case has posted personal information or confidential but authorities and public institutions only. In the background is an extension, with the use of technology, the right to demonstrate you have any Chilean public issues. "

In parallel with this initiative are to undertake their own organizations and groups other than CDP and the Coalition ARV, as high school students and supporters of the Citizens Movement Patagonia without Dams, which in the main parade of Coyhaique periodically invite the authorities to vote in consciousness and made the same call to citizens to make known their views to the representatives of the executive, since for many ayseninos game itself is in the type of future development of the region.

On this, one of the organizers of the action in public, Victor Formantel, said "let us be clear here in the sense that each one has to assume its responsibility as a citizen and the authorities and public actors. At ayseninos they have been cutting the space to participate, and people are taking to the streets and places where you still have freedom to give their opinion on a non-violent. "

Although some authorities in El Mercurio alluded hinted that they feel intimidated, the organizers made it clear that we need not fear that people express their opinion. Even the son of Claudio Health SEREMI Vallejos, who has been a member of the CEA who has questioned the procedure, endorsed the initiative on 18 April expressing your account twitter @ juanvallejosc "writes Environmental Evaluation Committee http : / / bit.ly / gwjFyW # Patagoniasinrepresas @ sinrepresas. Viejo, think again. "

The campaign is based on the understanding that any decision of the Commission's Environmental Assessment policy, since the pronouncements of bodies with environmental competence are not binding on the decision of the collegial body, appropriated by the Comptroller General of the Republic 9624 in its opinion of February 24, 2005: "The reports emitted by administrative bodies with environmental competence of the State are not binding on the respective Environmental Commission."

While in El Mercurio wanted to link the action of the town and the citizens of Aysén with actions against the authorities, the organization made it clear that the image illustrating the note under the slogan "Wanted" does not belong to their groups but a blog of political opposition to the government of Sebastián Piñera.

At the regional level in public initiative has drawn considerable attention, where people often have no access to the contact information of its authorities subsequently reported this to let them know your opinion.
