He spanish shipyard Cardama declined through a letter participate in person in the investigative commission who is investigating the case in the Chamber of Deputies, although he said he was willing to receive and respond to questions in writing.
The letter sent to the legislators who make up the commission—and to which he agreed The Observer— argues that it results “very complex to harmonize” the “genuine and sincere interest” in collaborating with the commission and the “limitations derived“both of contract signed with the State Uruguayan as with the “current dispute framework“.
“And with apologies for the digression, It is impossible not to mention that it will also be very difficult for this entire situation to be properly managed without the existence of a dialogue with your government.for which to date no interest has been shown on their part,” the letter states in relation to the position of the Yamandú Orsi administration, which resolved rescind the agreement signed in the last government for more than 80 million euros for the construction of two ocean patrol vessels.
“For our part we have maintained from the beginning and we remain fully prepared to reach an agreed solution“Cardama stated in the letter.
As a result of the previous arguments, the shipyard requested that questions in writing and promised to answer them “in the same way.”
At the end of the letter, meanwhile, the company identified two other people who had been invited to participate in the commission on behalf of the company: Pedro Alvarez (Project Director) and Gerardo Moreira (former frigate captain who mediated to bring the shipyard proposal closer to the National Navy).
In the case of Álvarez, the company indicated in the letter that he is not a “representative”, but a “worker” and that, as such, he had declined the invitation.
In the case of Moreira, they assured that he is not a “representative” of the shipyard, but rather an “independent advisor.”
