By the way we receive, trying to keep his distance, Soledad means that something is wrong with the women of the emergency camp. The Chileans from all walks and kisses greet those we reach out as if we were a couple of foreign diplomats. The head of reconstruction in Bio-Bio, the region most affected by the earthquake of exactly a year ago, knows enough to know that something was hidden and that something is surely the visit of a politician.
Indeed, after a while they admit that they met with Alejandro Navarro, Socialist Party senator and chief objection of the government's reconstruction plans. The MP advised the settlers to defend their rights and do not be fooled "by a government that what little he does is bad." Soledad, architect 31, plays a purely technical position, to oversee the construction of new housing.
But it's up to address the concerns of those who can not wait to rebuild their lives. Normally, it is infinite patience but this time not with his anger. "Who would believe me or Navarro? Is some have raised six camps and have launched five permanent housing projects only in the Bio-Bio?" Asked our host.
"Don Alejandro tells us that the tsunami mitigation systems also serve. They are bullshit, "he replies Eulalia, while fanning challenging, with the Ministry of Housing brochure that explains what they call" victims "for purposes of obtaining a permanent home, subsidized by the state. Mitigation systems to referred to Sen.
Eulalia mouth are part of an innovative project is to create green parks along the coastline to reduce the impact of a tsunami. To carry out the project is necessary to expropriate land in the areas of risk and Some owners are resisting. The emergency camp we visited was the largest in the country, home to 480 families and has a community center, school and even a church, built with the remains of a shipwreck but not the sea, but 220 meters inland.
"First came the earthquake and then the sea rose like a bathtub overflows," said Janette, another of the settlers, shaking his head as if to start from his memory the scenes the disaster. Most of the inhabitants of this place comes from Dichato, a fishing village in southern Chile that was most affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
Only 20 percent of this rustic village buildings were in foot. Every so often lead women look to the other side of the road, where they will build their permanent housing. Some are completed, other that are the foundation is solid and resilient, able to withstand the strongest earthquake, say experts from the Ministry of Housing.
"They say the work goes faster than expected. To us it seems rather retreat, 'says Rosalie another skeptical. We are looking for a man who can say in the matter, but it is useless. As they work or seeking work all day, their wives take care of household tasks and "red tape" (procedures for housing) that are never-ending thing.
For Soledad the greatest difficulty of his job is dealing with politicians. And not only with opponents of the government of Sebastián Piñera. In fact, before I came the socialist Navarro, was sniffing around here an official representing Jacqueline Van Rysselberghe, the official governor of Bio-Bio.
"The lady told us they are considering importing from Canada manufactured homes, better than you, with insulation and everything," insists Eulalia. To this, the architect of 31 years responds with a shrug: "Oh how nice ..." And with what money does the lady of the government buying these wonders? " At that time, the driver of the van he gently touches her shoulder.
It has been almost an hour since we arrived and we still have to go another three camps. Soledad tuned to a program of classical music and watches in silence the stretch of sea between the hills looming.
