This is very discouraging and probably one of the real negatives of living here, the open corruption and lack of accountability. At least in other countries, even if in the end they don't find negligence, even the mere appearance of such in a public position is enough to have heads on the chopping block. This is necessary for the politicians to fear literally for the political life.

While it is very encouraging to see so many people up in arms about this unecessary tragedy, it speaks volumes that the sad reality that nothing will be done to bring the numnut politicians to justice. IMO, this is because of the disparing difference between the highly educated few who know what the politicians are really up to and the majority of the population, who are easily deceived by someone in a position of power.

Being that José Enrique Sued, the syndicate of Santiago and now vice-presidential candidate for the PRSD has come out strongly against the report, might this translate to Leonel loosing votes from the Santiago region? Sued is very popular there and being that Santiago is the second largest city in the country this just might get interesting....but might not be enough for Leonel loosing his reelection. I do like the fact of the protest though.

More reports of unofficial commission response to official report:
'El informe de la Comisión Oficial constituye un contrasentido técnico, social y político'

Bienvenidos al Hoy Digital

I like this bit "la verdad siempre será solo una, y la sociedad conservará los dos informes como referencias técnicas que habrán de servir para análisis de las futuras generaciones".
