00:00We've done a very practical, very effective splice, checking all the pains,
00:07the needs of the 40 municipalities in the department
00:11and we have taken careful note in a matrix to solve those problems.
00:18Because, as I said throughout the campaign, I am not a merchant of illusions,
00:24I am a businessman of realities and I came to manage Colombia and its 32 departments
00:31hand in hand with the governors and mayors of the nation.
01:00Today, President Abelardo Las Priegas, being only president-elect,
01:05It provides a perfect snapshot of what is happening in Norte de Santander
01:10in matters of security, health, education, and infrastructure.
01:15We have already received more than 18 projects and we are going to conduct an evaluation.
01:21to see which of them is viable and which of them the government can support us in.
01:26I have also told the mayors and governors that we are going to decentralize power,
01:32that we are going to give them obligations but also budgets
01:36so that they can fulfill those obligations.
01:40And they're going to do it directly because the mayors and governors in the era of migration
01:45They don't need intermediaries; they have a direct relationship with the presidency of the republic.
01:52And for that purpose we have arranged, through the Ministry of the Interior and the Presidency of the Republic
01:58a mechanism that allows mayors to have a direct connection with the national government
02:05and also to the governors.
02:06And also to the governors.
02:45We listen to the needs of the department and the needs of the municipalities
02:49from the department of Norte de Santander.
02:51With that, we prioritize projects because a method was established here, above all.
02:56And once prioritized, according to the country's fiscal capacity, we move them forward.
03:33Thanks for watching the video.
03:35Thank you.
