Eviction of the San Antonio megatoma will end this week with the formal delivery of the entire land to the owner

According to information from the Provincial Presidential Delegation of San Antonio, this second stage, which began at the end of June, has developed "in an orderly manner and without major disturbances or resistance to the police personnel." The above, they point out, is explained by the fact that a significant portion of the families chose voluntary withdrawal before the start of the eviction works.

Juan Gonzalez San Martin/Aton Chile JUAN GONZALEZ SAN MARTIN/ATON CH Comments The eviction process of the San Antonio mega-takeover is expected to end during this week, detailed this Monday by the Provincial Presidential Delegation of San Antonio after a new visit to the site located on Cerro Centinela. And it is that this second stage of eviction, which has involved collaboration from both the Executive and police officials, has been carried out since late June with relative calm. "The positive result is due to the preventive deployment of Carabineros de Chile and the Investigations Police (PDI), who carried out patrols and identity checks before starting the work," said the Provincial Delegation of San Antonio.

After the resumption of eviction activities last week, following a pause of about three weeks due to the weather conditions faced by the region, some isolated fires of debris burning were also recorded. However, these extinguished naturally without causing major disturbances. According to information provided by the delegation, throughout the entire eviction process during this second stage, a total of 1,174 people and 1,224 sites were registered, corresponding to polygons 1A-2A, 1A-2B, 1A-2C, 1A-2D, 1A-2E, 1A-2F, and 1A-2G. "It is worth noting that, of the initial estimated population of 4,000 families, a high percentage opted for voluntary withdrawal before the start of the eviction works," they added. "In the coming days, the formal delivery of the entire land to its owner will be completed. According to the established obligations, the private owner must proceed with fencing the perimeter and carrying out cleaning work to mitigate environmental and health impacts in the area," concluded the presidential delegation regarding the eviction, which began last January and which, across both stages, covered a total of 80 hectares of land and involved thousands of people.
