“She is stable, the good thing is that one of the batteries she has has already been treated, she still has two more, they are treating her with medication. On Friday, September 6, she has another one. We are waiting to see how she reacts to that procedure,” she said in an interview with the aforementioned media outlet.

In conversations with Semana, Santiago said that they did not expect the closure of Andrés Carne de Res from a direct order of President Gustavo Petro, through the Ministry of Labor.

The Labor Ministry’s measure underlines the need to comply with security protocols at events that involve potential risks. The visit of the Minister of Labor, Gloria Inés Ramírez, to the Villamil family was a key moment. Santiago said that the official told them about the more than twenty hours of inspection at the restaurant, where important security deficiencies were detected.

“Minister Gloria Inés Ramírez came yesterday, September 3, to visit my father and me… She told us that they spent more than twenty hours inspecting the restaurant and that they found some flaws, but I didn’t think they were going to close it,” Santiago said in an interview with the aforementioned media outlet.

Laura Daniela Villamil was performing a fire dance when an accident caused a fire that seriously affected her safety. In the fire, the artist suffered significant burns that have generated concern among her loved ones and the community.

Concerns about the restaurant’s lack of preparation and risk management have sparked a strong reaction. Santiago Villamil expressed his surprise at the number of faults found and argued that his sister could have been saved if the place had been properly prepared.

“I am very surprised because my sister could have been saved if they had been prepared… I say that if they had been prepared, trained in risk management, I think my sister would not have been injured, the truth is that everything could have been avoided,” theorized Santiago Villamil.

The incident has highlighted the need to review and strengthen security practices in entertainment venues. It is hoped that these measures will prevent similar incidents in the future. In the meantime, the community is united in support of Laura Daniela Villamil, hoping for her speedy recovery and monitoring actions that seek to improve security in these contexts.

Meanwhile, President Gustavo Petro shared the message on his social networks, stating that “My government has decided to close ‘Andrés Carne de Res’ for its irresponsibility in the dignified treatment of its workers.” Although Daniela’s family has been satisfied and grateful with the decision, it has been stated on social networks that this is another attack on businessmen.

It has also been argued that the closure of ‘Andrés Carne de Res’ is a disproportionate measure, despite the seriousness of the establishment’s failures when it comes to serving, caring for and respecting its workers.
