Now a multi-million dollar investment is coming

The mayor of Medellín, Federico Gutiérrez, at the launch of the “Mi Río Mis Quebradas” program, provided conclusive data on the treatment of the district’s main tributary.

Fico Gutiérrez revealed that during the previous administration, headed by Daniel Quintero, no resources were allocated by the District for the city’s river.

The president specified that “in the last 4 years, in the previous administration, not a single peso was invested, neither from the Metropolitan area nor from the district.”

Additionally, he added that the only thing invested in the river in the four years of Daniel Quintero’s mayoralty was by the Metro, an investment in the order of 25 billion pesos.

“It is the first time in many years that neither the Area (Aburrá Valley Metropolitan Area) nor the District invested, there you see part of the consequences as well.”

Daniel Quintero, in his mayoralty, did not put a single peso into the Medellín River, between 2020 and 2023: Now a multimillion-dollar investment is coming

And for the president there is no doubt that “the Metropolitan area was another of those entities that was also looted.”

According to what was stated in the presentation of the program, which now not only focuses on the river, but also on the dozens of streams, between 2020 and 2023, the only investment in this regard was $25.8 billion, made by the Medellín Metro.
