“I have full confidence in the coordination work that the person in charge Paulina Saball will carry out will allow us to move in the right direction,” he added.
Regarding the working day, early in the morning the President of the Republic, together with the mayor of the commune, Miguel Peña, toured the San Ramón sector, where he was able to verify on the ground the work of the Ministry of Public Works and the coordination of the neighbors and neighbors to organize help.
