translated from Spanish: Mayor of San Bernardo opposes ANFP building construction

On the morning of this Sunday, the mayor of San Bernardo, Leonel Cádiz, issued a statement opposing the construction of a corporate building of the ANFP in the commune. The communal chief explained that his rejection “has to do with the inconsiderate way of deciding on a project in our commune, without asking people and deciding above the people who live in San Bernardo.” My efforts are in order to increase green areas, improve service infrastructure for neighbors, optimize mobilization and improve the health and education systems of the commune. In this context, to allocate a space of 17 hectares of green area to intervene with cement and concrete, and build a corporate building of the ANFP with courts and other dependencies, goes in the opposite direction to what St. Bernard needs,” he added. For the mayor, there is a “annoyance that when thinking about this place, one of the arguments of the authority is to meet the requirement to be close to the Central Highway, in order to deliver good road connectivity to those who will be users of this enclosure. This is how we should always think of all the neighbors of St. Bernard who need to improve their connectivity.” He also recalled that “the well-known problems surrounding football-related facilities, such as the action of fans and white bars,” should be thought of.” It is important to note that the place has an intimate historical sense and environmental conservation, both heritages that we do not want to damage. In the same way I wonder, what do the neighbors of St. Bernard really gain from this project?”,
