Venezuelan official Delcy Rodriguez responded to public anger over the government's earthquake response, stating that 80% of collapsed buildings were privately developed.
Venezuela's Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has addressed growing public frustration with the government's response to recent earthquakes, claiming that 80% of the buildings that collapsed were privately developed.
Rodriguez made the statement amid widespread criticism of authorities' handling of the disaster and the scale of destruction. She emphasized that the high proportion of private developments among the collapsed structures points to the need for stricter construction oversight and adherence to safety regulations.
The remarks come as part of an ongoing debate over accountability for natural disaster impacts and may influence future government policies on building codes and emergency management.
