In Azua, President Luis Abinader led the delivery of more than 800 property titles this Friday, covering a total of 1,349 families and impacting more than 5,000 people in this municipality.
At the handover ceremony, the president stated that the government is working for the people, to make the urgent and necessary changes that will improve the quality of life for Dominicans.
"Here, ladies and gentlemen, we are impacting approximately 1,349 families, which means that more than 5,000 people will have, starting today, a different future, with their property title, which represents an extraordinary act of justice to which our Government is committed," he stated.
The head of state stated that they have already delivered land titles in this province and declared that they will continue to do so throughout the national territory.
"This program has brought titles to almost 50,000 families, which translates to almost 250,000 people, and in Azua, work will be done in Sabana Yegua and in the town of Azua itself, in El Prado and other places in the province, as well as throughout the national territory," he added.
The president expressed his joy at being at this type of event: "I repeat, I am so happy at an event when I hand over property titles," a press release from the Presidency highlights.
He pointed out that the more than 800 families who enter here today, simply enter with a possession and leave with a property .
He added that "from today you know that you can leave that property to your family and that you can take out a loan to build and improve your house or add an annex or for your business.".
In that regard, he said that they can go to formal banks, not informal ones. "Today I can tell you that each of the more than 800 families who received their title, their lives have changed, and changed for the better," he expressed.
The titled homes are located in the Arroyo Corozo community and the Guayabal, Las Cojas, Los Taínos and Las Canitas sectors.
President Abinader also stated that this is a true act of social justice and a fight against poverty, and he urged the beneficiaries to cherish and protect their land titles, because they are their inheritance. "This title is your inheritance, which you can increase and pass on to your family," he emphasized.
"I assure you that this work had not been done before, because the resources that we are investing in each one had not been dedicated," President Abinader stated.
He argued that it is a job that, in addition to being an investment, is much cheaper than if the citizens did it directly, and that they will continue to do so from the Government.
He announced at the event the construction of the road that links Constanza and the entrance bridge, which will be included in the 2024 budget.
For his part, the executive director of the State Land Titling Technical Unit, Duarte Méndez Peña, stated that the titling process meant a savings of 107,920,000 pesos for the beneficiaries, because if they had carried out the work privately they would have paid a minimum of 80,000 pesos each, an amount that is charged for small plots of land without any geographical complexity.
He also explained that the work carried out by the Technical Executing Unit, together with the General Directorate of National Assets, covered a geographical area of 885,625.38 square meters, in plots 116 and 579 of Cadastral District 02.
Furthermore, he indicated that the firm conviction of the Government headed by President Luis Abinader Corona is to improve the lives of all Dominicans.
President Abinader was accompanied by Governor Grey Pérez; Senator Lía Diaz Santana; the directors of National Assets, Rafael Burgos Gómez; of National Cadastre, Héctor Pérez Mirambeaux; the sub-administrator of the Agricultural Bank, Juan Rosario; the administrative and financial director of the Dominican Agrarian Institute, José Cedeño; of IDECOOP, Franco de los Santos; and the advisor to the Executive Branch, Víctor Sánchez.
Also present were the deputies, Brenda Ogando and Carlos Ramírez, as well as the mayor of Guayabal, Juan Fernando Meléndez.
