“The harvest is failing”
“We are about to have great losses in agricultural matters, since we are national producers of chontaduro, borojó and cocoa due to the fact that the crops are stagnant,” explained Yina Moreno Mosquera, mayor of San José del Palmar.
The president has already advanced several dialogues with the departmental authorities, waiting for at least a partial solution to be presented that will allow us to open the way.
He also stated that the investment to recover the road would cost about 30 billion pesos, resources that currently neither the Municipality nor the Government have.
It should be remembered that the landslide occurred at the height of the sector known as La Virgen at kilometer 11 that borders the North of Valle del Cauca.
