Al comienzo no fue nada fácil agarrar al animal ya que huia cada vez que el operario intentaba tomarlo de los brazos. Tras varios intentos fallidos, Víctor Hugo, electricista de 38 años de edad, bajó de la escalera y se subió nuevamente con una escoba, objeto con el que jaloneó al mamífero.

The mayor of Medellin, Daniel Quintero, announced that this payment had already been reported to the Comptroller General of the Republic, where an agreement had been reached in December 2021 for the insurer to make the corresponding payments for said contingency.

“Now it will be the Comptroller General’s Office that will determine, according to the exchange rate of each of the payments made, what is the shortfall that the now condemned politicians and mega-contractors who were unfortunately part of the damage that occurred in Hidroituango must pay,” explained the local president.

On the other hand, Quintero said that he will continue with what he has called the recovery of the money that was lost due to the contingency. “We are going to continue working to recover every peso and guarantee that those responsible are the ones who pay,” he added.
