Luis Felipe Gutiérrez

Luis Felipe Gutiérrez serves as the Secretary of Infrastructure for Santa Marta, Colombia. He has been actively involved in the planning and execution of key water infrastructure projects in the region, particularly addressing the chronic water supply crisis faced by the city. His recent comments in response to President Gustavo Petro's criticisms highlighted the technical justifications for the location of a desalination plant, emphasizing that the facility is intended to benefit vulnerable communities rather than solely the tourism sector. Gutiérrez's advocacy for the project reflects a commitment to improving access to potable water for over 250,000 residents in Santa Marta.
