Critical situation found by the Constitutional Court in La Guajira: water with feces, EPS inactivated and the PAE at risk

The Colombian Constitutional Court's auxiliary judges conducted a judicial inspection in La Guajira, revealing severe issues including contaminated water with animal feces and microalgae, inactive health services (EPS), and risks to the School Feeding Program (PAE). The inspection included visits to indigenous Wayuú communities in areas like Perratpu, Romonero, Jojocinto, and Carrizal, where residents rely on visibly polluted reservoirs. Magistrates, university professors, and government officials verified these conditions, with Viceminister Mónica Saldarriaga proposing immediate solutions documented in audio and video. Health service challenges were also highlighted, including poor infrastructure and lack of resources, making access difficult, especially during rainy seasons. Indigenous communities reported no nearby functioning health centers and warned of threats to their fundamental rights.
