The president of the Confederation of Production and Commerce (CPC), Juan Sutil, regretted the decision that Unilever took yesterday to close two production lines in Chile and stop bottling tea as of October 3. Lack of competitiveness and market transformations were part of the reasons for the multinational, however, for the head of the multigremial there could be something more.
According to the slogan La Tercera, Sutil recognized the reasons outlined by Unilever but did not rule out that “some of that decision has to do with the stability and political prudence that has been absent in Chile at this time.”
As explained by the head of the CPC, said absence, “strongly conditions investment or divestment decisions, as the case may be.”
Sutil called for “good public policies” to be implemented within the institutional framework, “precisely to prevent situations from occurring in which companies decide not to participate in Chilean economic development.”
“The main affected are the workers because they stop receiving their income, this, like what happened in San Antonio with Maersk, is extremely unfortunate,” Sutil stressed.
