"This victory is for the more than 350 thousand families, who until today did not have a public property deed", commented, Michelle Sol, minister of Housing.

The purpose of the special law is to provide, for one year after its publication in the Official Gazette, the opportunity for land developers to legalize the deeds.

Last July 6, 2020, a first transitional regime ended, for which seven days later minister Sol presented a draft bill to the previous legislature without any response.

According to data from the Ministry of Housing, from June 2019 to July 6, 2020, they regularized the lots of 15,626 families. The regularization process of 131 subdivisions, equivalent to 20 thousand lots, has yet to be completed.

According to what was approved by the deputies, the transitory law does not include lots or plots located in natural reserve areas, archeological zones or areas considered as Cultural Heritage.

Nor does it support land located in areas that represent a high risk for families. That is to say, those located near rivers and streams.

In addition, lots that are in marginal areas or that have been usurped are exempted.

All this qualification will be based on pertinent studies, determined by the competent authorities and institutions, such as the Centro Nacional de Registros (CNR).

Between Sitio 1 and 2, in Ilobasco; La Esperanza, in Cojutepeque, both sites belonging to Cabañas and land in Chalatenango are some of the places where the families that need this law that supports them are located.

"I congratulate the minister, Michelle Sol, for the effort she is putting into legalizing land because they are people who for years have been deceived. Today, without so much protocol, many problems are being solved", said Congressman Juan Carlos Mendoza.
