Relatively a new city, loaded with the stigma of drug trafficking, violence and groups on the margins of the law such as guerrillas and paramilitaries, thieves and corrupt people who led the city to a critical point, where steal money and kill people were common in some neighborhoods of Medellín. At the same time, the ruling class lived in opulence and ruled the country as they desired.
However, facing all this terror frame, could more the people who were looking for aspirations, the communities stand together with the hope of improving their lives, managing to change the face of Medellín. New generations started to rule the city, providing support to isolated communities, making them part of the panorama and the plan of the city. Today Medellín is an innovative city that has gone through very difficult times, avoiding many of the biggest problems that a population could face.
Today our city continues developing socially, technologically and professionally and all the citizens are looking for the same objective, we want Medellín as city full of life, opportunities, happiness and color.
