news about the negotiations Bolivia - Bolivia Chile

few days ago I read with great surprise, a publication of the Times in reference to a solution to the Bolivian maritime problem titled: "Piñera lodges corridor 99 years to Bolivia. " But just before recover from the emotional turmoil that caused me the news, I realized it was a joke for the day of the innocent.

Something very similar happened in 1950 when the Chilean magazine Ercilla published an article with the headline: "Chile offers a port in Bolivia to 32 km . Arica. Plan of historic and continental, our government agreed to provide an outlet to the sea to Bolivians: You get water instead of the highland lakes to irrigate the North: USA will provide the money . But unlike what has been published on the day of the innocent, at that time, it was not a joke, but a clear attempt to torpedo the negotiations at that time held the governments of La Paz and Santiago to resolve the Bolivian maritime problem . The intention was to generate a widespread rejection of the progress of these negotiations through the dissemination of an alleged agreement that basically raised an exchange of fresh water by salt water. The refusal was immediate and forceful in Bolivia since nobody agreed it was unacceptable to consider using the waters of Lake Titicaca to benefit none other than Chile, in Peru, the opposition also was absolute, because the execution of the agreement would have meant losing its important water resources and Arica border, without getting anything in return, and even in Chile, where although there were some statements in favor, the vast majority was opposed to giving part of the territory, in the words uttered at the time, "Chile had cost blood" .

never clarified what was the source of Ercilla, nor verified the accuracy of the disclosure, all truth is that such publication irreversibly deteriorated negotiation initiated in June 1950 in order to resolve the issue capital of Bolivia. For neither the denials of the Bolivian government or Chile attempt to revive the negotiations in 1961, through the presentation of the Memorandum Trucco, served to save the situation. The negotiations languished until being dismissed completely in 1962, when the unilateral diverted the river Lauca executed by Chile, caused the rupture of diplomatic relations Bolivian - Chilean.

Today recovers relevant experience Ercilla ceased publication because negotiations currently maintained by governments of Evo Morales and Sebastian Piñera to try, once again, to solve the problem created by the confinement of Bolivia, it could fail if a malicious transcended as mentioned came to light.

It is worth noting that the December 5, 2010, La Tercera in Chile published a story that strangely appealing, despite its importance, did not reveal the source of that information extracted , the headline read: "supply stopped Bachelet Piñera enclave to Bolivia before assuming. Three Bolivian experts traveled to the region Tarapaca in 2009 to inspect a location provided by the Bachelet government. It was build maps south of the Quebrada de Camarones and in February the firm was preparing a report. The plan was rejected by Piñera, who is more in favor of granting a corridor without sovereignty Lluta north of the river. "

is very strange that the important Chilean newspaper news so take a ride and only relates to the origin of the information with the following two sentences: " government sources say the time" and " ensures a Chilean Foreign Ministry source who knew of these talks. "

Moreover, clearance from both governments to the allegations published by La Tercera, avoided awkward questions about the veracity of these and sidestepped questions about whether actually went so far as stated in this publication. However, because Chile was committed to just before "and propose concrete solutions to achieve feasible and useful in the next and subsequent meetings of the Political Consultation Mechanism" it is possible that the true purpose of the news was to measure what might be the public reaction to the proposed solution that would pose Piñera, ie without sovereignty corridor north of Arica. Although this is not true, the reactions were quite positive because despite some exceptions, or in Chile or Bolivia was ruled out, at least in the first instance, the option would have raised the Chilean president. Which even allowed further progress in the Mercosur Presidential Summit to be held on December 17, 2010 in Foz do Iguaçu - Brazil, where they agreed to establish a group chaired by the Foreign Ministers Choquehuanca and Moreno, who will be responsible for treating maritime theme.

While the talks seem to be on track or in this case, a good runner, the negotiators should not lose sight of a malicious and well-executed transcended could derail everything moving as it did in 1950, especially today when access to information is much broader and there is clear evidence of the effect of using media leaks, such as Wikileaks on international diplomatic relations. Therefore, to prevent indiscreet information leading to the failure of negotiations at this time hold the governments of Chile and Bolivia, it is necessary to keep in absolute confidentiality until they reach an agreement to be presented to the view public of the countries involved including, if necessary, to Peru.
