A former minister under Hugo Chávez has admitted that soil studies were not conducted during the implementation of the “Misión Vivienda” (Housing Mission) project. Farruco Sesto, now defending the project as historically significant, made the revelation during a recent appearance in Madrid. This admission comes amidst growing criticism from Venezuelan families whose homes, built under the program, have been impacted by recent earthquakes. Many are now questioning the structural integrity and safety of these constructions. The Housing Mission, a key initiative of the Chávez administration, aimed to provide affordable housing for low-income families. The lack of proper soil assessments raises concerns about the long-term stability of these buildings and their ability to withstand natural disasters. The revelations further fuel debate over the project’s legacy and accountability for construction standards.
