La Cúcuta que no se ve

La imagen es desgarradora. Una familia entera, tratando de sacar el lodo que las fuertes lluvias arrastraron hasta el interior de su casa de tabla, construida en una zona de alto riesgo.

Los barrios 23 de Enero, Valles de Girón y Villas de San Diego, han resultado seriamente afectados por los torrenciales aguaceros de los últimos días y las crecientes de la quebrada Tonchalá y el caño Las Brujas que atraviesan este sector.

Los pocos enseres que pudieron salvar, yacen sobre las mesas o resguardados en las viviendas de algún vecino que pudo superar la etapa de la pared de tabla, y con ladrillos se ha aferrado a un lote que invadió hace años.

Los niños, incluidos algunos bebés de escasas semanas de nacidos, ignoran la realidad que sus padres tratan de paliar con un recogedor, una escoba y un balde. Una realidad que, tristemente, tendrán que repetir en unos años con sus propios hijos en brazos.

Esa Cúcuta, de la que nadie habla porque no se conoce, es la más poblada, la más necesitada y la más olvidada. Esa Cúcuta que huele a feo, que ensucia los zapatos y hasta los taxistas evitan conocer. Esa Cúcuta que muchos ignoran, pero que no por ello desaparece.

Para muchos jóvenes de la ciudad, lo más lejos que tiene Cúcuta es el Centro Comercial Jardín Plaza, hasta donde van porque tienen carro o si no jamás visitarían porque ‘queda muy lejos’. Para estos jóvenes (y algunos adultos), Cúcuta muere en las redomas de la Terminal y el Aeropuerto. Más allá no hay nada. Y si hay algo, no les interesa. Sin embargo, es esa Cúcuta la que pone la mano de obra de muchas de las construcciones que a diario vemos promocionarse por distintos medios; es esa Cúcuta la que pone la señora que ayuda con los quehaceres del hogar en muchas de las casas de quienes no saben siquiera de dónde viene quien les sirve el tinto, es esa Cúcuta la que los políticos solo visitan en campaña y a la cual no vuelven porque ya no les interesa. Es esa Cúcuta que no le duele a nadie porque para los que pueden revertir su realidad, simplemente no es rentable.

Esa Cúcuta de la periferia es la que está sufriendo los estragos de la temporada de lluvias que, según el Ideam, se extenderá hasta el mes de abril de 2021. En muchos de estos hogares, el 2021, a escasos 48 días de llegar, se ve tan lejano como Júpiter, pues no saben siquiera si el próximo aguacero les permitirá dormir una noche más bajo un techo que retumba como truenos infinitos cada vez que las gotas lo golpean.

A esa Cúcuta, queramos o no, es a la que tenemos que virar nuestros ojos, porque es desde allá desde donde nos llegarán las peores noticias si no hacemos algo para evitarlo. La Alcaldía visitó esta zona y prometió ayudas. Pero también hacen falta soluciones de fondo para una problemática que pasa por las invasiones de terrenos, los carteles de invasores y una violencia que expulsa a muchos campesinos hasta estos corredores de miseria que el agua amenaza con destruir.
