Capotillo, one of the target barrios of the government's Safe Barrio Plan, is tired of the constant blackouts, the lack of water, the high cost of living and the lack of official answers to years old demands.

Now, 21 local associations are joining forces to ask for the fulfillment of the government's promises. The Council for the Development of Capotillo (Condeca) pointed out that while crime is down at the start of the programs, it has returned, because "a program such as this cannot be sustained based solely on police patrols.
