Now it says, "'El Gobierno ha decidido mantener en forma indefinida un horario único en Chile cntinental e insular', dijo el secretario de Estado.

The phrase "horario único" could refer to the contrast between the island areas and the continent, but it could equally well refer to the contrast between the use and the non-use of daylight saving time. I think it's the latter.<span><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888">Gwillim Law</font></span><span><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 9:41 AM, Juan Correa <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:pottersys@gmail.com" target="_blank">pottersys@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><br><div>- <a href="http://www.soychile.cl/Santiago/Sociedad/2015/01/28/301742/El-horario-de-verano-regira-todo-el-ano.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.soychile.cl/Santiago/Sociedad/2015/01/28/301742/El-horario-de-verano-regira-todo-el-ano.aspx</a></div><div><br></div><div>"El ministro de Energía, Máximo Pacheco, anunció la suspensión del cambio de horario, por lo que durante todo el año regirá el horario de verano.</div><div><br></div><div>"El Gobierno ha decidido mantener en forma indefinida un horario único en Chile Continental e Insular", dijo el secretario de Estado, enfatizando "que esta medida va a ayudar a mejorar la calidad de vida de los chilenos y a ser un mejor uso de la energía"."</div><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></span></div>
