Bonaventurea district city with the most important port in southwestern Colombia, not only has problems with basic services, especially water, which still does not reach 400,000 Buenos Aires during the 24 hours of the day or rubbish that floats under the stilt houses.
The crisis reached the 150 firefighters for the entire district, who in a protest in the streets, demanded the payment of a debt of 400 million pesos to the Town hall of the town, since last year.

Captain Guillermo Valencia, commander of the central barracks, said that the District Administration does not pay what corresponds to the relief agency from the money collected by the industry and commerce tax that is equivalent to the contribution of 10 percent by merchants.
“He pays us drop by drop and we have to be asking. That’s not enough for vehicle maintenance. We could buy more machinery or better equip the ambulance and other equipment,” said Captain Valencia.

“The Mayor’s Office should send all the resources to the Fire Department account,” he said.
The District Administration reported that as of this week, the monies owed will begin to be disbursed.
“The financial situation of the Mayor’s Office affects everything and with Firefighters we have an agreement for the execution of the money,” said Mayor Víctor Vidal.
The president assured that some payments have been made and noted that firefighters are free to express their opinion.
