In his story, the president told what his experience was. “On the tour of Santa Catalina, several people took us to one of the highest points on the island, where the image of the Virgin Mary is. It is shocking that after a category 5 hurricane had passed, it was still standing,” he said.
In this sense, he added that “it does not intend to invade the faith of any citizen.” “I want to be respectful of all faiths, of all expressions, creeds and cults, but that image is powerful, “he said, adding that this shows” the faith, resilience and great capacity that the Providencia community has to face these circumstances. “
