Red PrecordilleraNew backroom deal for Bosque Panul behind the community's back
At the Municipal Council meeting on Tuesday August 17, Mayor Rodolfo Carter reported receiving two letters. The first, a letter from Inmobiliaria Gesterra, owners of Fundo Panul.

This information was deemed "false" by La Florida mayor Rodolfo Carter in preceding days, but the evidence found confirms the citizens' complaint, making it imperative to change the current Zoning Plan to definitively protect Bosque Panul.
