For Amparo Chicué Cristancho, Magdalena Medio territorial director of the Victims Unit, the meeting spoke of two measures that need to be implemented and that are related to the reconstruction of Las Morrocoyas bridge and the printing of a historical memory document.

“What we are looking for with the meeting is that these measures are included in the Territorial Action Plan (PAT) that is being built in the department of Santander and to see specifically in which program they would be reflected in the Development Plan. Finally, the conclusion was reached that these measures can be managed through a program called 'Always for the Victims', which is part of the departmental development plan”, added the official.
