The owner of the Ministry of Housing and Buildings (Mived), Carlos Bonilladefended this Monday afternoon the business closures that that entity has been executing for “structural failures” and other reasons, and rejected that the measure applies only to chinese shops.

The minister assured that the main objective of the closures“is the preservation of lives“, as well as the compliance with lawsas established and ordered by the president of the nation, Luis Abinader.

“The objective of these operations is precisely preserve lives. They are observed structural failures and failures important construction projects at a glance, said by the Mived and for different expert structuralists in the matter,” Bonilla said when answering this Monday’s LA Semana con la Prensa, a question about the motivations for the operations carried out by the portfolio.

In recent weeks, the Mived ordered the closure of several shops, mostly Chinese, under the allegation that the physical structures in which they operated presented failuresas well as lack of required permits.

“In other words, what we seek here is to preserve lives and comply with the law, the President is always emphatic that we have to comply with the law, and that is what we are doing with these closures, preserving lives and complying with the law”Carlos BonillaMived holder“

Likewise, last week, the institution ordered the temporary closure of the popular Euphoria nightclublocated on Venezuela Avenue. On that occasion, the measure was taken because the owners of the establishment had been notified that it was carrying out renovations without the appropriate permits and did not obtain the order to stop doing so.

“It’s not just Chinese businesses”

Bonilla also referred to the complaint that the closures of businesses from the Mived They are only focused on chinese sector.

“We with these closureswhich is not only chinese shopsyou rightly said that there was a disco that we recently closed as a precaution (he said about the journalist’s question). That disco It is not Chinese owned. In other words, what we are looking for here is preserve lives and comply with the law,” said Bonilla.
