Asunción, IP Agency.- The government of Paraguay formalized the transfer of the Marina Cue lands, from the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development (Mades), to the National Institute of Rural and Land Development (Indert).
The President of the Republic, Santiago Peña, carried out the symbolic delivery of property titles to the families of Colonia San Oscar Romero, formerly Marina Cué, during an event held in the district of Curuguaty, department of Canindeyú.
From now on, Indert, in its capacity as the agrarian reform implementation body, will promote the transfer process to the beneficiaries of the Marina Cué agrarian reform.
The head of the National Institute of Rural and Land Development (Indert), Francisco Ruíz Díaz, highlighted that the residents receive from the president the property title of the Colonia San Oscar Romero, to begin the agrarian reform.
Likewise, he announced that in December, Indert will deliver the property titles to each of its occupants.
Ruíz Díaz maintained that after delivering a property title, pacification comes and subsequently we can talk about development and with that, a dignified life. And with this, this community will begin to talk about economic and social development, remarked the head of Indert.
For his part, Darío Acosta, president of the Marina Cué Development Commission, thanked President Santiago Peña for the political will.
He also thanked the department authorities; as well as the Minister of Sports, Cesar Ramírez and the deputy Cristina Villalba, because they said yes to the support for the regularization of lands in Marina Cue, as well as to all the public institutions that cooperate for the formalization of Marina Cue.
