00:30This fracture is what Constanza is experiencing today, where more than 300 families in El Cercado face eviction, despite having lived in housing assigned by the state for 23 years after Hurricane George in 1998.
00:47And also La Caleta, where nearly 90,000 residents receive eviction notices while they await a meeting with President Abinader, requesting that their land be declared of public use.
00:58Following our Listin and El Barrio report in La Caleta last year, national assets expressed its willingness to prevent evictions on state lands.
01:07But reality demands more because we are talking about families with half a century of roots who see their fundamental right to stability threatened.
01:15If the state relocated the displaced in Constanza in 1989 during the Balaguer administration or allowed settlements in La Caleta, it cannot now evade its historical responsibility.
01:27Therefore, it is urgent that the declaration of public utility for the disputed lands be expedited, as the people of La Caleta are demanding.
01:35This is not about endorsing illegal occupations, but about honoring the lives built by school children, cared for elderly people, and neighborhood networks forged over the years.
01:47The answer cannot be abandonment, but rather a regularization policy with a human face.
