According to the last session of the municipal council, for this November 11 a key meeting between executives of Channel 13 and TVN and representatives of the municipality, in the framework of the negotiations Viña del Mar Festival 2021.
According to the newspaper La Tercera, it will be a crucial day for the eventual completion or postponement of the event.
The channels propose a suspension under the argument of “reasons of force majeure”, and for this, according to the morning, they will present the results of a “legal report” that explains the negative implications of making the musical appointment.
According to the publication, the document was in charge of the FerradaNehme law firm and focused on “the risks and legal implications that the postponement of the Viña del Mar 2021 Festival entails,” prepared when the talks between both parties were at a standstill.
The conclusion of the text would reveal that “It is not feasible to hold the contest” due to the difficulties that it entails and that would exceed the points of the agreement. On the other hand, it would establish that it is not viable to “exploit the concession” either, since the agreement between the channels and the municipality is limited to the use of a specific real estate Quinta Vergara).
The municipality, for its part, does not intend to prosecute the conflict. “We are absolutely convinced that the pandemic constitutes a situation of force majeure and that it forces the suspension of the contract for the 2021 edition,” Francisco Guijón, Executive Director of TVN, told La Tercera.
“The festival cannot carry out or exploit the concession in the terms in which it was agreed. It is critical that the 2021 edition be suspended. It cannot be done, because you put people’s lives at risk, “he added.
According to the morning, the income of the concession of the event, only in the period 2019-2022, amounts to $ 4,500 million pesos, amount that was already paid by the channels.
“Undoubtedly the concessionary rent that was paid is a subject to be discussed. In any case, I would prefer not to refer to this and everything starts because the festival is suspended ”, added Guijón.
Regarding the above, the councilor Sandro Puebla (independent PS) commented to the publication: “We will never return money. In that position we are not going to agree, but we can extend the period finally ”.
The solution that the municipality will propose this November 11, according to Puebla, will be the realization of a TV program that is broadcast during the days of the festival, “an alternative program of the Covid type,” he summarized.
