Sofia Sabra said yesterday that in the past few days, there have been broken lights and windows within the Azul neighborhood. The Municipality told him that electrical work was not complete because CEAL did not have meters. He said that it was a pity because only 11 meters were needed, and not 200.

Sofia Sabra is a representative from the Chacras de Bruno neighbourhood. She announced that vandalism had been committed against those building homes there in the past few days. During a discussion with EL TIEMPO it was reported that several broken glass pieces and the recent installation of CEAL lights occurred on the site. The neighbor in this case said that the incidents could have been avoided had those who already had their homes built the opportunity to live there, but this is not possible because some essential works for that purpose are still incomplete. Such as electrical service

There have been quite a number of broken windows at the homes. Sabra said yesterday that the neighbors told her that these kids were also damaging light fixtures. She then added that, “These are minors so we can’t do much other than to call the police.”

The neighbor also said that people are tired and don’t have any idea what they should do. The windows are not fixed because the owners don’t have any idea how long it will last.

They are extra costs. One can add that we’ve already completed the homes and are waiting for CEAL. We are all facing the same problems: costs, expenses, and more expenses without even being able live,” said he.

Sabra said that the entire neighborhood had been lit up and that “there was only one light that broke.” He reiterated that “they are minors.” We as neighbors can’t do anything. It’s the parents responsibility.

This is also due to the fact that our neighborhood has not been finished. These situations wouldn’t have happened if we lived in our homes. A boy would not throw a stone at you if we lived in our homes. Even you are scared to confront the children to stop them from doing this kind of damage, and have to fix it later. You never know what could happen. “They make things worse because they know you don’t.” warned the Chacras representative. Bruno.

He added that “some have had small thefts but not many.” It’s been a while since I heard that porcelain tiles were stolen from a neighbor. It’s all the result of one thing, the abandonment in the area. He said, “It’s a no-man’s land.”

Sabra, on the other hand said they had been able to reach Marcos Turon last week, the undersecretary for Public Works in the commune.

Sofia Sabra was contacted by the official of the Mayor Hernan Berntellys’s management, according to the announcement.

He assured me that it was not because he didn’t have any concrete answers for us. He noted that it was not because the connection with us had broken.

The representative of the neighbourhood also stated that Turon had informed her “that the electricity works are almost finished”. The CEAL is not able to provide the service, as they don’t have meters. This is what the Cooperative tells us,” he continued.

Sabra considered this: “It is unfortunate that the cooperative that offers this service, which is currently the only one in Azul that does not provide 11 meters. There are already 11 folders on display today.” We are not asking for 200 meters, but 11 metres. “It is nonsense.” They also didn’t give us a date for installation because they don’t know when the CEAL will arrive. The Municipality has almost completed the project, and now it is up to the CEAL. He said, “We are facing obstacles after obstacles.”

Sabra, on the other hand stated “Marcos Turon told me he didn’t have any answers from CEAL. Now they are informing him about this situation.” Two days for us is quite a time, and we do not know when the CEAL will be able to provide answers.

The neighbor said that when referring to remaining work that has not been completed in Chacras de Bruno that, “we already assume this municipal administration will not do them because there is a large job to be done.” In the river corridor. After they have finished with theirs, we will start.

The same is true with regard to the problem of streets. The streets are flooded, it was an open field. They opened the gates, but there is no water. You shouldn’t be able enter the neighbourhood today with all this rain. We cannot wait until the construction of the riverside corridor, the completion of the sewers and the street is complete. “I think the problem with electricity must be resolved as quickly as possible,” stated the leader of the community.

Sabra also maintained that the CEAL was responsible for providing service to us and charging us fairly when our electricity bills arrived.

The neighbor of Chacras de Bruno stated in another section of yesterday’s interview with the morning paper that, “our neighbourhood was badly pushed to the side.”

The Construyendo Azul Program started out with two communities, one of which is now completed (SOCOA) and the other is still in progress. “We are still in exactly the same position,” he said in identical surroundings.

The mayor also said that “even with the clogged roads, there is one neighborhood that is completely done, but we only have water.”

He added, “It’s hurtful that we can’t live in our homes and the CEAL says they don’t have meters for us when there is only electricity here.” “The issue is, people start to get addicted to electricity out of sheer desperation. This is dangerous.” It is important to consider the neighboring needs, such as those who must rent their homes; pay for Procreate and eat.

Sofia Sabra, at the conclusion of her conversation with the medium in question was asked whether a demonstration could be organized to bring the issue into the public eye. I believe the CEAL should now be mobilized, as the Executive has told us the job is almost done. “The Electric Cooperative is now the problem,” he replied.

It is absurd that CEAL doesn’t have meters, and can’t provide service. Marcos Turon, more than anyone else because Mayor Bertellys doesn’t exist, communicated with us and provided concrete information,” said he.

The representative from Chacras de Bruno, a neighborhood, said, “Supposedly, meters are being blocked by customs but only 11 are required, not 200.”
