“President Piñera does not have nor has he had any type of
wanted to investigate this, or the situation in which the company was handed over the concessions of the four or five municipal casinos in 2018 and subsequently to have authorised the purchase of two casinos: one in Los Angeles, one in San Antonio.”
Mr. González went on to question the Superintendency’s relationship with Enjoy claiming it was ‘extremely concessive and permissive.’ He questioned how it could award casino licences to a virtually bankrupt operator. He called some of Enjoy’s project offers ‘reckless’, adding that it was impossible for the company to deliver what they had promised and that their only intention was for Enjoy to seemingly have a majority share of the Chilean casino market.
Mr. González said: “Tey excluded competitors for offers [from Enjoy] that according to any economic calculation, they [Enjoy] weren’t going to be able to finance themselves. Tey took advantage of that time to buy the leading casino in Latin America, the Conrad of Uruguay in Punta del Este.”
Following the airing of the TV programme, the
relationship of any nature with Enjoy or with any casino, therefore all the accusations that have been done in that sense, have no foundation.
Jaime Bellolio, Minister Secretary General of the Government
Minister Secretary General of the Government Jaime Bellolio, said: “President Piñera does not have nor has he had any type of relationship of any nature with Enjoy or with any casino, therefore all the accusations that have been done in that sense, have no foundation. Te casinos have obligations, they have to initiate works and as a result of the pandemic they could not do it and that is a decision made, not by the government, but by the Superintendency of Casinos.”
Enjoy stated: “Regarding the political speculation that has circulated in the national media related to our company, Enjoy reiterates how unfounded and speculative all these accusations are. We understand that in an electoral period context such as the current one, there may be political intentions behind
the comments and rumours spilled in debates on social networks and the media about which we cannot take charge. We regret that for these political purposes there is a willingness to harm a Chilean company, with more than 45 years of history and its thousands of workers.”
It added: “Regarding the report of the Chamber of Deputies, it is important to clarify that despite the fact that Enjoy formally requested to appear before that investigative commission in order to clarify doubts and deny gross errors, the commission refused to receive us, which transforms the report into a completely biased document, which shows a serious violation of the duties of objectivity, transparency, due process and seriousness.
“As a company we have always acted with the most absolute transparency, adherence to the rules, and undeniable respect for the institutionality. Today our focus is on resuming our operations and projects in the current difficult context of the pandemic, on continuing to employ thousands of people in the country and on once again being a pole of economic development for the regions in which we have a presence.”
