Sadly, the long hours of waiting didn’t have a happy ending for everyone, as at 9 a.m. (when the buildings opened), the elders were told that only 200 tokens would be distributed and with those subsidies could be claimed, added that news.

Some of the site goers say that have queued for more than 12 hours, but that they have not managed to receive any file, much less any help from the promised ones in the messages that reached them, added that channel.
While older adults continue to queue, exposing themselves to contagion in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, they denounce that there has also been no clear communication from the Bogotá Mayor’s Office to facilitate the aid delivery process, said that informative.
Meanwhile, the district authorities, questioned by Noticias Caracol, did not demonstrate and did not give explanations about the process communication with older adults and subsequent deliveries of subsidies.
