The Government delivered this Saturday the property title to more than two thousand families in the municipality of Consuelo, who worked on land that did not belong to them, but which was intervened by the State to bring them dignity and the guarantee of their property rights.
“It was a longing, a longing for a lifetime, a dream that today has come true,” said Cristino Ramírez, a resident of this community for more than 20 years.
The titles were delivered to those attending a massive activity that received the president Louis Abinader, who spearheaded the delivery of 2,631 certificates that will impact more than 10 thousand people.
“We are complying point by point with the commitments we made with the Dominican people,” the President proudly expressed.
He added that the titles they now have not only make them owners of their homes and businesses, but also allow them to be credit agents in order to expand them and continue improving their quality of life.
With this act, each of these families is recognized their right to the land that they have worked for years or on which they have built their lives together with their families.
“Those people who spent so much time planting cane and other forms of work, today they will be able to say: I already have my title,” said another of the beneficiaries.
