Abelardo de la Espriella launched a ‘Marshall Plan’ to rebuild the territory after the earthquake: “Chocó was not born to be poor”

Abelardo de la Espriella, identified as president of the Republic, has launched a 'Marshall Plan' aimed at the reconstruction and economic reactivation of the Chocó department. The initiative follows a devastating 7.4 magnitude earthquake that struck the region on August 10, prompting the declaration that 'Chocó was not born to be poor.'

Concurrently, separate seismic recovery efforts are underway in neighboring Venezuela, where authorities announced the demolition of 39 structurally compromised buildings in the state of La Guaira following a severe double earthquake on June 24. Meanwhile, sports coverage highlighted domestic soccer controversies in Peru, focusing on a disputed penalty during a Liga 1 match between Universitario de Deportes and Comerciantes Unidos.
