The mayor of Bogotá presented to the National Government a plan to recover the city from the economic ravages left by the pandemic in the capital.
Through a co-financing between the District and the Nation, the so-called Social Agreement for Bogotá, which includes actions on issues such as basic income, education, health, reactivation of employment and the business fabric; housing and habitat; social care and economic reactivation for women.
“We propose to the Government to join efforts and investments, to make an agreement for women, poor households and young people, where education and employment are guaranteed. This agreement could have a value of $ 3.4 billion of which the Mayor’s Office would put 1.6 billion and the Government 1.8, “the president explained at a press conference.
For now, we have to wait for the response of the Government of Iván Duque, since the mayor herself warned about the need for an economic and social lifeguard, recognizing that the pandemic “has accentuated unemployment and poverty” in the capital.
“President Duque, you are the youngest president in our history. The young people of Bogotá and Colombia need me to move forward as a generation. That is the true response and protocol to the mobilization, ”López pointed out.
