Chile Minvu Defends El Olivar Demolition, Disputes Expert Report on Structural Safety

Chile's Ministry of Housing (Minvu) defends its demolition order for homes in El Olivar, Viña del Mar, despite a judicial expert report finding no execution defects and attributing anomalies to design/structural calculation. Minvu questions the report's validity, claiming it does not guarantee safety. This dispute highlights a conflict between judicial findings and government action, with implications for housing policy and legal accountability.
