“And for all these works that have to do with roads, bridges, which are for the benefit of Nicaraguan families, the strength of the workers is decisive. Of course, we must also recognize the decisive contribution of the engineers, technicians, and specialists who work on the design of this work and who make the calculations so that these works can resist seismic movements, tremors, as we say here in our country. The workers, the engineers, the companies complied and the Mayor's Office was in charge of the work. Our congratulations to Reyna, to Fidel, to Enrique, to the entire leadership of the Managua Mayor's Office ”, said the president.
