This Tuesday in the Encuentro interview with Julio Villagran, the director of COFOA, Alberto Velásquez, mentioned that as an organization they addressed all the deputies through letters, of which only 4 legislators received them, this letter was for approval reforms to the Law of Subdivisions and Parcels for Housing Use, this same was approved but with gaps.
“When Representative Claudia Ortiz spoke about the reform and requested that they be accepted, Ernesto Castro behaved in a very rude, arrogant and very sexist manner and denied Claudia that right and told her that he would never accept anything from her. Velasquez explained.
The director of COFOA highlighted that they represent more than 10,000 families who are fighting for the legalization of their deeds to the lots they have paid for legally. In order to find a solution for these families, COFOA has held a meeting with the Minister of Housing, Michelle Sol.
“On February 4 we had a meeting with Michelle Sol, we definitely felt very happy, excited and hopeful of finding solutions” Alberto Velásquez highlighted.
In addition, Velásquez mentioned that as a foundation they have managed to get local and central governments to make investments of up to $300 million in public works, highlighting that their job is to manage the needs of the population with the corresponding authorities.
“We are not the ones who go and fix the deeds, we are the ones who go and negotiate with the politicians to fix a street, to put in drinking water or to put in electricity.” said the Director of COFOA
