This is the scenario that for almost three months Mehu n settlers live in the Los R os Region. Before and after the daily lives of the locals changed after the millionaire agreement with the company Celulosa Arauco y Constituci n (Celco) and most members of the three unions of fishermen in the area, and pledged their support for the execution of an environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the construction of a pipeline to the sea for the Valdivia pulp mill. This support is key to the company, because you must change the point of unloading its sterile, following the decision of the Regional Environmental Commission (COREMA) in June 2005 that he must leave it in the Cruces River due the death of registered black-necked swans in the sanctuary of nature Carlos Anwandter. Thus, the strong opposition to the project Angellini Group since 1996 kept the inhabitants of the area, broke and now the population is divided between those who signed the agreement, which reaches U.S. 8.9 million. of which 3 million was distributed to each fisherman to sign-and opponents, who are making common cause with communities and extractors Lafquenche surrounding creeks. The sides blamed each other's rarefied atmosphere, the split between the people and collecting "the daily coexistence is quite tense, there is a clear rift between neighbors. Mehu n longer a harmonious atmosphere among fishermen, today is very different. And became different because of an external agent in this case is Celulosa Arauco, who joined with their money to divide the people, "says Eliab Viguera, spokesman of the Defense Committee of the Sea and one of the few fishermen who did not sign the agreement. The delegate detailed that the scenario is quite critical and ensures that a week ago started to hear gunshots around Lingue River "and it began to worsen so that walking on the streets became insecure Mehu n, no order" . In this context, the last Friday of December there was a clash between "celquistas" and opponents of Mississippi community-located on the other side of the river from Mehu n-an effort to block access to the sea in four ships, which aimed to premonitoreo one to implement the EIA, making three return, while one was adrift and had to be rescued the next day by police, who found abandoned. Even as he relates Viguera, shots were fired from the caleta Mehu n against those trying to stem the outflow to the sea and also Molotov cocktails were found inside the abandoned boat. The incident prompted the fishermen communities and opponents Lafquenche Celco product to prepare a "strategy of surveillance of the sea" to prevent any new violence.
