A bitter controversy has generated the fact that the Government of San Andrés, just a couple of weeks after the devastating passage of the Hurricane Iota, which left 98% of Providencia destroyed, has signed a contract for the Christmas lighting of the archipelago for $ 1,550 million.
Before the hiring authorized by the governor (e) of San Andrés, Alen Jay Stephens, the representative to the Chamber, César Lorduy, from Cambio Radical, criticized in his social networks: “I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the absurd or at the unimaginable. In the heat of recovery time as a consequence of the hurricane, the governor of San Andrés decided to spend $ 1,550 million on Christmas arrangements “.
On the other hand, President Iván Duque has insisted in recent weeks to tourists who planned to travel to the islands that, Instead of canceling your hotel reservations due to the hurricane, travel to the main island of the archipelago, San Andrés, Its infrastructure was not seriously affected and it hopes that tourism, its main economic input, will provide resources for reactivation in the midst of the pandemic and after the scourge of Iota.
In this sense, the Secretary General (e) of the Interior, Martha Moreno Rojas, when requesting the approval of the departmental president for the contract with the Public Services Company of Sabaneta, affirms that the coronavirus and the hurricane “have generated an economic and tourist slowdown in the islands, therefore it is necessary for the department to lead programs (…) in search of economic reactivation and tourism “.
