offering no "traceable" specifics, no path forward, no solutions, no written manifesto, no formal guidelines... just a constant stream of her noise/bullsheet as she continues "winging it" as Anti-Mining Minister where she has nofocking idea what she is doing or how to solve anything other than closing down the Codelco Ventanas Smelter for the 14th or 15th time.

Notice in this story that Marcela is happy to report that her precious lovable sweet-baby mining unions have "no problem" with the tax increases or new increased royalties (as if that even matters), but she fails to mention even one sentence on what the actual mining companies have to exactly say about the new tax increases or new increased royalties. Her policy isfock all the mining companies now and in the future.

Minister of Mining and Royalty: "We do not want to repeat what happened with the tax reform"
Story of Patricia San Juan

After the severe setback suffered by the government last week with the rejection of the idea of legislating the tax reform in the Chamber of Deputies, the Minister of Mining, Marcela Hernando, indicated that the Executive will take the necessary time to seek the agreements that allow the royalty project to be approved.

“We do not want to repeat what happened with the tax reform (ref Wednesday March 8) and therefore, we must resume dialogue and perform a lot of intra-legislative dialogue, but not only with the commissions, I think that suddenly one stops a lot to talk with the representatives of the parliament in the respective commissions, and here I believe that the dialogue has to be with all the parliamentarians to explain, explain and explain everything that is necessary to explain and change all things that seem to be inconvenient for the country”, said Hernando in an interview with Radio Dune.

The tax reform is made up of four legislative initiatives, of which the most important is the one that modifies income, among other matters, and which was rejected in the Chamber (ref Wednesday March 8). But, there is also the mining royalty, which is currently being processed in the Senate Finance Commission along with 2 projects that will soon be sent to Congress, one project of corrective taxes also known as green taxes and another project in the same line but that points to health issues.

Optimism

The minister maintained that the royalty project has already had several modifications and that in general terms the unions have not complained about not having had options for dialogue.

Regarding the role of the Ministry of Mining in the processing of the initiative, she indicated that they have been a kind of articulating medium or go-between with the Ministry of Finance and representatives of the mining sector "in the sense of representing to the Treasury also the dangers that we see while additionally making suggestions regarding what modifications should likely be made (editorial note: there are no specifics on record for "modifications" that we can find).

In this regard, she emphasized that "I consider myself quite optimistic about being able to reach agreements and that is the most important thing, right now he is in the Senate, in the Treasury, we have to resume a dialogue that was well advanced before the legislative recess, and we're not going to rush things until they're ready and ripe."

The project entered the Finance Committee at the beginning of this year, after being approved by the Senate's Mining and Energy Committee.
