The District Mayor’s Office, through the Government Secretariat and its Public Space Defense Unit, Udep continues to reach different sectors of the city with the Yo Cuido Mi Espacio Público campaign, to which more than 100 samarians have joined the actions to care for and preserve the space that belongs to everyone.

“What is sought is that the community itself becomes a manager of public space and they themselves reject the misuses that are given to it; likewise, that they work on the application of actions that seek to take care of and keep the space that belongs to everyone free of any invasion. At the moment we have already impacted more than 100 people in different neighborhoods of Santa Marta and we are going to continue working in the different localities to generate this type of pedagogies that allow us to raise awareness in the community ”, stated the Secretary of Government, Marcelino K ´David Rada.
