Everything seems to indicate that the realization of Viña 2021 is far from seeing the light. This after the channels that have the show concession issue a joint statement where they reiterate the complications to carry out the appointment.
On that occasion, along with referring to the problems resulting from the health crisis, the stations exposed the economic difficulties they have to comply with the contract.
“The executive directors of TVN, Francisco Guijón, and of Channel 13, Maximiliano Luksic, formally sent a letter to the mayor of the Illustrious Municipality of Viña del Mar, Virginia Reginato, with the purpose to raise the conditions that make it impossible to hold the Viña del Mar Festival 2021 under the terms established by the current concession “, started.
“In addition, the Viña Festival Promotion Commission was asked to pronounce as soon as possible on the impact that Covid-19 has had on the economic and financial balance of the contract, as the channels to carry out the concession under the terms in which it was awarded are prevented, and it was reported that the Comptroller General of the Republic will be asked to rule on the current status of the concession, “they added.
On the one hand Maximiliano Luksic, Executive Director of Canal 13 pointed out: “In a year in which we have been hit by a pandemic of such magnitude as the one we are currently facing, as Canal 13 we have to prioritize, above all, the health of Chileans. That is why We are convinced that it is not feasible, under any point of view, to hold the Viña del Mar Festival 2021, under the conditions in which it has historically been carried out or the way the Festival was awarded in concession. Therefore, we appeal to the criteria of the Municipality to face the current scenario and the conditions of the current concession ”.
Also Francisco Guijón, Executive Director of TVN commented: “As a public channel
We must ensure and put people’s well-being, safety and health first, and the truth is
what Given the current conditions of the concession that we have for the channels, it is not feasible to hold the Viña del Mar Festival as it was granted by the Municipality and that is why we consider that the decision to suspend it is the correct thing to do ”.
It should be noted that, a week ago, the Minister of Health, Enrique Paris, said on television that the event “cannot take place” due to the health crisis.
Since that time the organization has proposed formulas to be able to carry out the appointment, although at the moment there is no clarity regarding that.
