The day that had been announced at the beginning of this month will apparently materialize. “We are going to make a general strike at both ends of the area to see if they listen to us. Previously we left one side open to act in good faith, but this time it will be a total block. We were waiting for the holidays to pass to make the demonstration effective, which could be this Thursday or Friday, January 6,” said Ariel Payares, leader of the area.

And it is that the claims for the poor condition of the road are not new. Its inhabitants have carried out multiple protests that have ended in broken promises, that is how in August 2022, Jafet Schamoun, an inhabitant of the sector, recounted the drama they experience to be able to cross the road that connects them with Ciudad Jardín and the Circunvalar.
“That street damages cars, it damages everything, it even damages our quality of life. The section was closed about a month ago because cars were always stuck there, there were accidents all the time and the waters backed up; but now no one has spoken, no one says anything to intervene,” claimed Schamoun.

On this situation, the Secretary of Infrastructure of the District, Luis Villadiego, pointed out in a previous interview that the diagnosis and evaluation of the case has already been made, there are even budgets for the work, but there is still “a pending procedure on the part of the developers in the processes of deed and transfer of land so that the roads are linked to district roads”. The road could be included in phase 4 of the rehabilitation of the road network.
In the event, not only leaders from La Carolina will participate, but also from neighboring sectors.
