Editorial. At least 36 new invasions have been recorded in the municipality of Villanueva, in the department of Cortés, in the last three days, reported the legal representative of one of the affected individuals, Ramiro Medina.
The professional commented that invasions continue to be a serious problem affecting different parts of the national territory. Similarly, he noted that it has begun to affect the properties of foreigners.
“Unfortunately, a property belonging to a foreigner has been invaded, and it sends a bad message. This problem has been escalating over the last few years,” declared Medina.

Likewise, the Honduran lawyer explained that the situation has escalated into a “mutation of crimes.” In that sense, he stated that the new modality is to steal in the agrarian sector and handle large amounts of money.
“We are working on some working groups that will start tomorrow. Hopefully there will be a solution,” he emphasized.
Intervention
Medina highlighted that, in the specific case of Villanueva, a particular intervention is required.
“Just last weekend, 36 new blocks were invaded: 11 in one place and 25 in another, valued at 25 million. There was already a client interested in buying this property, but what he found were invaders,” he detailed.
In the same way, the lawyer mentioned that the situation in Villanueva is critical, both in urban and rural areas. Therefore, he stated that it is necessary to strengthen private companies, as they are the ones that generate jobs in the country.
“Legal guarantees must be provided so that investment can occur in this country,” asserted Medina.
