For his part, the mayor of Purén declared that “it is a moment to laugh (…) This house gives them back hope, the brave. They are people who have suffered all their lives, who have not had a good time.”
On the other hand, the presidential delegate indicated that “within so much misfortune and catastrophe, it is comforting to be able to share today with Juanita Millapi and her family, the installation of the first emergency house in the Malleco province, which will allow her to have a dignified wait while we move forward in the final home”.
“The truth is that for us it has been a joy at such a difficult time to be able to have installed the first emergency housing with this speed and to continue in the coming days in Purén building all the houses that the Government today makes available to the public, while we advance in the reconstruction plan”, concluded
