December 30, 1811, Juan Buscate, a French citizen who came to Barcelona to run the old hospital of Hospice, sent a letter to the board to be patriotic settled in this city on April 27, 1810, where a prospectus had to avoid the misfortunes that ate into this land, due to the constant flooding from the river Neverí.
This comment, following the heavy rainfall last Thursday in the capital of Anzoátegui state, shows that the problem is not new, but is the result of facts that have been accumulating for over 200 years. Where, of course, ominous voices of those who had responsibility for government in the last fifty years, intended to spearhead moves to reclaim what they could not solve. Buscate
described in historical documents housed in the river Neverí its bed trunks and branches, resulting from the attitude of the people to throw their waste waters from animals slaughtered in abattoirs in the area. They mentioned the French the La Matanza, head of the flood situation.
warns that this situation continues, Barcelona was likely to disappear under the waters of the main river, a fact that occurred between 1807 and 1809. Therefore, he suggested raising the soil of the former Barcelona, \u200b\u200bin any case, move it to another area which he named Puerto Neverí. You know what that site was suggested by John Buscate: Cerro El Morro.
But to return to the report of the French who burned a portrait of Fernando VII, in the square Mayor (Boyacá), the April 27, 1810, describing the irresponsible attitude of the inhabitants of the city who moves to its present site, to release all the streams and creeks, this situation has not changed. For more operational
cleaning to do to streams, the attitude of Barcelona is still the same people of the colony. The easy way to throw trash on the banks of rivers or any vacant lot, and not to apply for better health consciousness of the city, Barcelona will continue to suffer this calamity.
That's not the fault of the current government, but of us who are accustomed to throwing junk, debris and any waste without waiting for the urban sanitation truck. This image I have seen her since that notion as a citizen and born in the capital of Anzoátegui state.
Barcelona, \u200b\u200bNovember 20, 2010
