On the occasion, the authority recognized that it is common to find illegal burials in the Nuevo Amanecer camp.

He asked the Government for help to intervene in the taking

“In this camp live people who live well, who get up, who go to work. But there is another who is in charge of crime, drug trafficking, and prostitution. In here there are gambling casinos, there are nightclubs and there is a clandestine slaughterhouse. There are annoying noises every weekend and during the week,” he said.
Along with revealing the reality that exists in that place, Verónica Montecinos said that “My request goes directly to the Government, because it is the one that has been absent, at least here in Cerrillos“.
“What we ask is thatPlease come and we will be part of it together, because the municipality alone cannot“he stressed.
Montecinos emphasized that to change this situation, “a real intervention with the Government must be made. Entering with soldiers, doing identity checks. Those who are not legal in this country are returned to their country; Those who have a police record are returned to their country. And we stay with the people who really come here to work,” she stated.
