Acrostic Poem For Summer

That other cueca dance (Part 2) That



development quite liberal economic policy by the government of Alberto Fujimori opened the doors to foreign investment and Chilean businessmen were so without hesitation entered their domestic capital to play their chips in companies located in strategic sectors for the country. It was home to another kind of conflict with the Chileans, now in the economic field. Not surprisingly, it was Pinochet himself still held the position of Commander in Chief of the Chilean army who, together with employers in southern Iquique in 1992, snapped the unfortunate harangue: "Buy Peru that they are selling cheap" You want guarantees? The have 100% of that is handled by the Army of Chile. "

Thus we Peruvians consume Chilean wine bottles, boxed or canned peaches to be absorbed into a maelstrom of Chilean investments were initiated in the field of construction (Jockey Plaza Shopping Center) and supermarkets ( Santa Isabel) to go year after year covering almost all sectors of industrial activity, trade and services in the country. Thus we have Chilean companies managing the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity (Edegel and Edelnor), retail businesses and home that dominate the Peruvian market (Ripley, Saga Falabella, Sodimac, Tottus), the flagship supermarket in Peru (Wong and Metro) were purchased by the Chilean company Cencosud to national outrage ever thought that these companies command of "Peru" were sold by their owners to investors broken. Shipping, cargo warehouses, logistics and port infrastructure (CSAV, IMUPESA, Agunsa, Neptunia) are Chilean capital, apart from the intentions of entering a partnership with Peru's Romero Group in the concession of ports within the country. The airline has a virtual monopoly the "open skies" in Peru (including law enacted in their favor during the government of Alejandro Toledo) is owned by Chile (Lan Chile under the legal personality of its national operating subsidiary Lan Peru), which certainly did not spend the tires of bill for the mess that caused the presence of the Peruvian airline Aero Continente to about 5 years ago shook the Chilean market with their best prices and was banned from operating in Chile and Peru for their ties to drug trafficking. Peru Rail

the company managing the monopoly with arrogance the train to Machu Picchu is the Chilean capital as a significant number of contractors working in the most important mines of Peru, Finance, marketing and distribution companies, gas and fuel as well as laboratories of the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacy networks (Fasa, Inkafarma and BTL), cemeteries, clubs, travel agencies, telecommunications, real estate, the most striking that the powerful association of Chilean construction with Grana y Montero Belco to build "housing 22.000 people" in the field of Collique airfield after "faenón" of certain officials in office who have sold the Metro square less than 10% of its real value. There is information about that over four million hectares belonging to the Amazonian regions of Peru that have applications for the award by transnational companies producing ethanol and biodiesel, mostly from Chile.

An additional issue is the presence of Chilean products in the food sector having cornered virtually the entire national market. Nestlé bought the candy factory the traditional Peruvian D'Onofrio while Nabisco Field did the same, while Carozzi has an important action in the Peruvian market in the area of \u200b\u200bbranded pasta Molitalia, Costa in chocolates and biscuits Ambrosoli sweets and candies, Pomarola in tomato sauce, plus to participate in the areas of instant beverages, desserts and fruit pulp. Today, the formula of the Peruvian national drink Inca Kola is produced in Chile for logistical decision of its owners (Coca Cola). Food

Watts, owner of Laive SA., Not far behind with participation in the sale of jams, juices, margarine, oils, sauces, milk powder, liquid milk and mayonnaise and holding Corporation, which owns brands Tresmontes Aconcagua and markets instant beverage, canned fruit, tomato paste, fruit pulp, frozen vegetables, in addition to jams, desserts and wines. On the other hand, Chilean companies are major players in the Peruvian market for toiletries and cleaning.

is important to mention the dark history of the pasta factory owned Luchetti Chile Luczik powerful group in 1996 built a manufacturing plant in Chorrillos, south of Lima, in an area near the wetland known as the Villa Wetlands which is a quiet wilderness., without having the required environmental impact studies and contrary to the observations made by the Municipality of Lima. This issue of municipal and administrative character ended up being a critical issue in trade relations between both countries. The Chilean Foreign Ministry and business associations jumped to defend the position of Luchetti noting that jeopardized the legal security of Chilean investment in Peru. Even between 1998 and 2000 senior executives Luczik group met in the halls of the enigmatic INS Fujimori's intelligence adviser, Vladimiro Montesinos for judicial favors negotiating process that followed the Municipality of Lima, arriving to confirm by aides that Mr. Montesinos Luczik Andronicus gave the consultant a briefcase containing two million dollars, supposedly designed to finance the re re-election campaign of Fujimori in 2000. At another meeting Gonzalo Menendez, Luchetti Manager, asks Montesinos "a short and bloody war" against Mayor Alberto Andrade. Finally, and made known the facts described, the Municipality of Lima ordered the stoppage of works and the decommissioning of the plant. After two years of litigation, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes and Investment Disputes (ICSID) ruled in favor of the Peruvian state in the controversy raised by the company Lucchetti requesting an award of $ 150 million.

More controversial issues between Peruvians and Chileans who are more publicly highlighting including the nature and appellation of origin of spirits called Pisco is produced in both countries and responds to two drinks very similar in their development, but different in quality (while the Peruvian brandy has a more sophisticated and is obtained by distilling from 8 to 10 kilos of grapes per bottle, the Chilean a spirit which is prepared with half of the Peruvian grape and mixed with demineralized water). While Peruvians have the certainty that their product is much higher on average than that of Chile, also sets its position in defense of the appellation of origin linked to the geographical space where you produce (the Peruvian city of Pisco was founded in year 1640 while the town of Pisco in Chile was created in 1936 when he renamed the people of Pisco Elqui La Union), as is the case of champagne in France, while the Chilean defend the generic position of the denomination as with wine. What is certain is that Chileans have industrialized production of pisco in much greater scale and local consumption is significantly higher than the Peruvian. Topics under discussion are the origin of the potato where there is no further discussion of Peruvian origin of it and even was the subject of much discussion on the marketing of the Chilean company Soprole Lima sigh dessert and yet the detail was overlooked the Chilean frozen desserts factory in San Francisco de Loncomilla also sells ice cream sigh Lima.

reviewed this background it is clear that both Peruvians and Chileans have every reason to be at odds, divided and living in a permanent feeling of mutual enmity. Currently, over 80 thousand Peruvians live on Chile to where they marched in search of a better future. The vast majority are poor people without much training and who engages in activities that require unskilled labor and are slowly gaining acceptance space of Chilean citizenship is recognized in many of them working people and eager to move forward, beyond the discrimination they are subjected. The

This article aims not to promote anti-Chilean brand of the many that are generated by the Internet to either side, but remember the facts which have occurred over time. We are at the center of the confrontation. Chilean companies are not asking to boycott competing rules that allows the Peruvian government but also defend them with the fervor and passion that usually do liberals and Peruvian officials working in the Chilean consortium.

We are aware that in Chile, Peru's investment rules are neither will be the same that occur in Peru and much less than the Peruvian companies will participate in certain activities such as strategic Chile energy, ports, airports, oil, mining and others.

Actually it is a tense relationship of neighbors should be treated with cold packs and sleeping always with one eye open. We do not want to Eduardo Bonvallet and General Edwin Donayre as referring to our relationship. They may be only styles of each country. While the theme of Peru is "Firm and happy marriage" of Chile is "By reason or by force." That's the detail. Penetration
