A new judicial process joins the Aquarela case. This, Friday, November 13, it was learned that the Promotora Calle 47 SAS, builder of tower one of the housing project, filed a direct repair claim against the State.

Through a statement, the construction company indicated that the lawsuit, filed before the Administrative Court of Cundinamarca, is due to the fact that the “Ministry of Culture and the Mayor’s Office of Cartagena were unaware of the development and construction rights obtained through urban planning licenses, as well as as well as the urban regulations applicable to the social interest housing project ”.
He added that the Mayor of Cartagena questioned the legality of the licenses that protect the project, “illegally suspending the continuation of the work.”
The Promoter explained that in the legal action she exposed “the use of the housing project as an excuse for the inability of the Ministry of Culture to meet the recommendations of the Unesco World Heritage Committee, expressed more than 15 years ago, on the regulatory and normative measures necessary to protect the entire monumental complex of Cartagena ”.
The construction firm added that Mincultura handled the public opinion, national authorities and the World Heritage Committee with inaccurate and erroneous information to direct and pressure judicial and administrative decisions against the building.
Promotora Calle 47 specified that prior to the filing of the lawsuit, which seeks compensation for the damages caused by the State, through the Ministry of Culture and the District of Cartagena, to investors and home buyers in the housing project, it summoned to a conciliation hearing, which ended without success.
