controversy over the situation
80,000 cattle are not moved from one place to another in two or three days. This takes time and it was not possible to register all the small farmers who lost everything
The situation suffered by ranchers and the non-registration of the vast majority of small and medium-sized owners in the single registry of the Ministry of Agriculture to receive aid has caused much controversy in the region.
Enrique Martínez, president of the union, said that when the registration platform opened, the ranchers were taking the animals to dry places to avoid further damage and could not register.

“80,000 cattle are not moved from one place to another in two or three days. This takes time and it was not possible to register all the small ranchers who lost everything, ”he explained.
He also said that the deputy director of the Risk Unit was intransigent with the union, by not wanting to open the registration platform again and telling them that “too bad if they could not register.”
He affirmed that the guardianship was filed by ranchers from Majagual, Guaranda and Sucre, all from the La Mojana sub-region, that it was admitted and that the Ministry of the Interior, the Presidential Council for the Regions, the National Unit for Risk Management and the three municipalities.
They hope that the guardianship in its entirety will be ruled in favor of the ranchers and that they will be able to receive the promised aid.
