Pesca artesanal en alerta: Cortés acusa al Gobierno de favorecer a los industriales

The suspension of the process for incorporating new participants into the Artisanal Fishing Registry could affect thousands of workers, warned Hernán Cortés, president of the Council for the Defense of Fishing Heritage (Condep). In a conversation with Mirna Schindler, Cortés maintained that the Comptroller General's observation can be corrected through a procedure before the National Fisheries Council and urged the Undersecretariat of Fisheries to complete the process. The leader also questioned the withdrawal of the draft of the new Fisheries Law and accused the undersecretary of promoting an agenda favorable to large industrial companies. He also raised concerns about the situation of those who have already invested in or carried out operations under the registry. This controversy once again pits artisanal fishing against the industrial sector and puts pressure on the government's political response.
