Investigative journalist Addis Burgos presented the story of how the National District Capital City Government under Mayor Carolina Mejía continues to violates its own rules to favor builders of high rises and other businesses. In the investigative report for her program on CDN Channel 37, Burgos shares remarks by city residents about the lack of compliance of the city government or the inexistance of city planning.
City residents express their frustration at how the city government sends city boards and residents on a long legal journey as it looks the other way to favor builders.
City residents say that the high rises are fine, but the roads are the same and the irregular approvals are creating an unlivable city.
When city residents organize and pay expensive lawyers to carry their case, the builders resort to long legal cases while the city government authorities look the other way and make it difficult for those seeking to get the rules applied.
Dozens of constructions that had been detained under the administration of former Mayor David Collado have been cleared for go ahead during the extreme pro-business Mejia city government, despite numerous violations.
