The controversy over the situation of the mayor of Manizales, Carlos Mario Marín, for going on vacation in the midst of the situation with the Ruiz Volcano continues. The local president appeared after several days of absence after six days without knowing where he was.
The mayor did so through a publication on his Facebook, where he stated that he was “the only official in the entire cabinet who did not rest in DECEMBER and JANUARY.”
Days in which, according to his story, “I worked until the wee hours of the morning for two months in a row, including December 24 and 31, which are usually for the family, we allocate them to share with the inhabitants of the street in Christmas dinner.”
He said that he was also working during February and March, “we continued straight.”
In his statement, he said that the Secretary of Health asked him to rest for his mental health.
He said that he had scheduled the trip before the alert, “departing from March 31 to April 20 (which I can legally use as any employee).”
However, he overlooked that the Colombian Geological Service (SGC) had reported on Thursday, March 30 at 10:40 pm, when the volcano’s activity went from yellow to orange.
He added that he had tried to “return to the city as soon as possible”, but had not been able to.
You have not found cheap tickets
Among the striking things is what he expressed for not having returned to Colombia yet.
He assured that it was “because I don’t want to, but because I am changing some tickets this week, where all the airports in the world are full.”
He said that they have “a very high cost, but we are doing our best to solve it.”
