i dont remember what the importance is of new hope (and the article does'nt say why they're being relocated)...but i found it curious...there was speculation recently that the govt would not be relocating citizens until after the november elections...in any case i'm glad i dont live in venezuela.

The inhabitants of the invasion New Hope, located just next to soothes main of the Cicpc, in Guaiparo, indicate its preoccupation to be evacuated of that place, because in recent days they received the visit of representatives of the Venezuelan Corporation of Guayana (CVG), that informed to them about the decision taken without at least consulting them. Tens of families, who are in that place for nine years, assure that they do not count on the sufficient resources like being able to live on rents in rents. Today the preoccupation of the neighbors is made more and more latent, because they fear that from a little while to another one they can be removed to the force from the land where already they are had customary to live. Conscious of its condition of invaders, they ask for to the CVG and the Mayorship of Caroní a relocation, because before being in the street they prefer to face the bureaucratic machinery that hides behind a request of that type. People of all parts “They came here for like the 3:00 from afternoon. Supposedly we were going to have a meeting to see in what it was going to be that, but the certain thing is that all we needed a ceiling here to live”, declares. In agreement with Leon in the place they inhabit workers of different public institutions that they do not count on plans of houses, nor remunerations that allow them to live in better conditions. “Here a police, a patrol craft, a worker of 1-7-1 and I lives, who I am of the Interior. Altogether they are 43 families, and nobody must where to go away. All we are here because we do not have where to go”, it express. Without nothing “Here we have light, neither water nor no type on watch. We did not count either on the zoning. The CVG says that there are no spaces right now like being zonificando, but we do not understand it, because they came two years ago with topographers to look for to solve that problem, but after that anything”, Leon adds. The lack of zoning is demonstrated, for example, in the state in that are the streets and in the same situation of uncertainty in which they are the houses. “We have talked with the CVG and with the Mayorship, both beings that, assume, they can help us, and the unique thing that they give us are false hopes, more nothing. They had said to us that they were going to help to us with the plan of houses, but the truth is that it is not going away to him here to make houses to anybody”, sentences. Primitive methods “Pure septic well is what we have this way. In addition we must buy tanks. The trucks happen and they sell the water to us, and we have tried to look for other solutions like removing a pipe half to put the water for here”, exposes. It is not explained how, although the majority of the community supports the governmental policies, the district in which lives does not count on no of those important services. “The Interior would have to approach here. We are all with the process, but nobody puts the hand to help us us”, is sorry. More outcries “Mainly it fails the light and the sewers to us. To the asphalt paving also a repair needs to him. We lack the most elementary services”, affirm. In relation to the angustiante situation by the one than they cross, the one of the plan of houses, Guzmán indicates that “here we do not have resources to be renting. Even, to my first I sold it car to be able to rent, and if they remove to us from here I do not know for where we are going to go”. Nothing is worth “This way they pass the thugs with the pistols in the hands all along. It sees them to one and it calls to the Police, but they send a patrol not even to see what happens. We showed ourselves by a huequito we see and them. The anguish always is great, but we must have left calm”, express the neighbors. |
