00:00We are here with Luis Machado Prieto in his home in Jaimanitas, on 228th Street.
00:06The hurricane hit part of the roof.
00:11Just as it had been foreseen, a vulnerable home, one of the worst homes in Jaimanitas,
00:22was damaged by the strong winds.
00:26Luis, you went to the police station to inform them of your career.
00:30Well, when it dawned, I went to the police station.
00:35They sent me to see the delegate.
00:38Luis came here, saw the damage and said he was going to see the social network,
00:42which is the one that has to make the report.
00:44Until now I have been waiting for the social network and it has not arrived.
00:47How many years have you been foreseeing this situation and giving careers and procedures?
00:52I have been in this process for more than six years, in all the careers, the things, speaking.
00:59Well, nothing could be solved.
01:01Until today, let's see what happened to the roof.
01:04The house, as you can see, is in very bad condition.
01:07Well, supposedly, the wall is alive.
01:10And let's say, there is no cement, there is no paving, there is nothing to do.
01:15Until now, that's what they have told me.
01:17They have told me, but I don't know if they will give it to me or not.
01:19I have to wait for the report.
01:21I have to wait for the report.
01:23I don't know if they will give it to me or not.
01:27I have to wait and see what the result is.
01:31Your mother had to be evacuated.
01:33Yes, she had to be evacuated because the house is in very bad condition.
01:37And since it came in category 3, it was not well known.
01:40The winds that were going to blow here at 150, what more damage was it going to do?
01:45The walls could have collapsed.
01:46The house could have collapsed.
01:48And well, there is nothing that can be done about it.
01:51They left a high floor to protect it.
01:53Yes.
01:54They had to raise it to a second floor.
01:56With all the work that comes with it,
01:58both raising and lowering the house.
02:01There.
02:02Let's see in what conditions your mother lives.
02:06That's my mother.
02:08In the state.
02:09Well, let's see.
02:11The conditions of the house,
02:13so much here that this part was not affected much,
02:16which is the best part of the roof.
02:18And then,
02:20the house is in very bad condition.
02:23These are the papers for the house,
02:27for the property issue.
02:29All the housing.
02:30Here everything, the municipal address of the beach house.
02:33With the issue of, for the repair and subsidy,
02:36the property of the house and everything else.
02:38Because I told you, this is a state property,
02:41it is not the owner's.
02:42And then the answer is that
02:44since the house is in very bad condition,
02:46they cannot give the property to my mother.
02:48But then they cannot give her the subsidy at the same time,
02:51because she is not the owner.
02:53Because the subsidy is given to those who are the owners,
02:55not the property.
02:56So the laws are said and contradicted.
02:59Because if the house is from the state
03:02and they cannot give me the property
03:04because it is in very bad condition,
03:05they are in charge of repairing it.
03:08To give them that solution.
03:11Well, that's the solution I have for now.
03:13Denial of subsidy, denial of the property.
03:17And all the medication,
03:20and all the problem of food.
03:22No, that's it, you know.
03:24So now,
03:26I have gone to the Ministry of Public Health
03:29for the issue of oxygen.
03:31Well,
03:34I have gone to the Ministry of Social Security.
03:40Look, this is a file that is full of all those letters,
03:43all those laws,
03:45everything.
03:48To the Presidency, as I was already telling you,
03:51also for the issue of the house,
03:53the attention to my mother.
03:55And it has been zero.
03:57That is to say,
03:59I have received very little help,
04:01not to say that I have received almost nothing.
