Ricardo Sanchez, municipal engineer of San Miguelito, explained to Prensa.com that “… they are aware of the Sinaproc warning and, as a result, they have reduced approval of permits for Condado del Rey. In regards to why they have not suspended permits for new works, he said that they are seeking a consensus with representatives of the town. The municipality of Panama has already suspended new construction permits.”
