The legislator, who also participates in the Senate Environment Committee, said on Aysen "We all know that this area is known as a store of life, based on their extraordinary source of unique wildlife and their ecosystems. Carrying out this project is, without doubt, destroy part of Patagonia. "While, Navarro said his presidential program includes the development of the URE and efficient use of energy, where" it is fundamental and innovative work with the community to be affected or benefited by the project.
