They continue to live in increasing poverty and destitution, as month after month they remain unpaid. On Sunday, January 15th, once again, they appealed to the special investigations offices of the president and once again they were handed the same old promises. They said: "We know that once again nothing will be done and that our families will continue to starve..."
