Alí Manouchehri, Alcalde de Coquimbo, acusa reacción tardía del Gobierno ante la catástrofe

The mayor of Coquimbo, Alí ​​Manouchehri, accused the government of a delayed response, a lack of leadership, and insufficient support during the initial hours of the emergency that affected the region. In an interview with Al Pan Pan, the mayor stated that the municipality had to face the crisis with limited resources, questioned the prior coordination by Senapred (National Service for Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Response), and affirmed that requests for machinery went unanswered when it was necessary to clear roads, channel ravines, and evacuate families. Manouchehri also maintained that the government failed to grasp the magnitude of the storm system in time, despite prior warnings, and suggested that the focus should now be on accelerating reconstruction and restoring critical infrastructure. This interview exposes the coordination failures between the central government and municipalities and opens the debate on the State's capacity to anticipate and respond to large-scale emergencies.
