Forty Neighborhood leaders from Municipal District 14 blocked Paurito Avenue to prevent access to the San Miguel de los Junos landfill. Together with a large group of neighbors, demand the dismissal of the deputy mayorMaria Aide Salvatierra.
A spokesman for the various neighborhood associations justified the protest before the lack of attention of the Deputy Mayor. “He doesn’t come to workdoes not coordinate with neighborhood leaders,” said Walcir Torrico, president of the Tierra Linda neighborhood, in a contact with EL DEBER.
“He has come to divide the leadership, causing confrontation between neighbors. That’s what she’s come to do.” denounced another neighborhood leader while asking for the change of the deputy mayor. “We reject that authority and ask that another trustworthy person come and want to work for the 14th district,” he explained from the blockade point.
In the afternoon hours, a delegation from the municipality went to the place to meet with the neighbors. The municipal health secretary, Roberto Vargas, and the general manager of Emacruz, Víctor Hugo Peralta, headed the dialogue commission.
In the absence of an agreement between authorities and neighborsthe latter indicated that They will continue the protest indefinitely. As long as the blockage persists, the cmions that operate in the collection of solid waste remain stranded without being able to access the landfill.
Through a press release, the General Manager of Emacruz identified “a group of leaders with a political tinge that are blocking the road to the landfill”. This situation “prevents the trucks from carrying out their work normally, causing an attack on public health. We ask these neighbors to put down this attitude and think about the well-being of all citizens,” Peralta said.
