La Silla VacíaLO·CO·about 14 hours ago
Colombia's Minister of Housing, Jaime Andrés Beltrán, stated that the ministry lacks resources to meet investment needs, citing consequences for communities such as water access difficulties in La Guajira amid El Niño impacts. The claim is a government official's warning, not yet corroborated by budget documents. This signals potential delays in water infrastructure projects in a region already vulnerable to drought.
