Hoy, desde Quibdó, dimos un paso decisivo: comenzó formalmente la reconstrucción de Colombia. Después de dos semanas de dolor, atención humanitaria y trabajo incansable, entramos en una nueva etapa: levantar lo que la naturaleza destruyó y hacerlo mejor, más seguro y con resultados. Hoy comenzaron a llegar las primeras 480 toneladas de materiales; anunciamos el apoyo económico directo para las familias que perdieron sus viviendas; pusimos en marcha el Fondo Milagro para liderar una reconstrucción que requerirá más de $30 billones; y seguimos sumando al sector privado a esta gran tarea nacional. Ya hemos gestionado más de $2 billones con algunos de los empresarios más importantes del país, y el Grupo Argos se suma con 1000 viviendas de rápida construcción. El próximo 7 de septiembre volveremos a Quibdó junto a los empresarios que se han comprometido a sacar adelante el Plan Especial para el Chocó. Este departamento ha esperado demasiado. Es hora de comenzar a saldar con hechos la deuda histórica que Colombia tiene con su gente. No olvidaremos a quienes perdieron la vida. Honraremos su memoria levantando una Patria más fuerte. La reconstrucción ya comenzó. Y voy a liderarla personalmente, en el territorio y vigilando cada resultado. ¡Firme por la Patria! (A.D.L.E.) 🇨🇴🐅 #ReconstrucciónColombia #Quibdó #Solidaridad
