Now that 2 years have passed after the earthquake, the opinion of many is that there has been very little accomplished in regards to reconstruction of these areas, and much of the blame has been placed on the government. Nevertheless, official government figures show that almost 2 million soles have been spent (approximately $680,000 USD), but those residents of the affected areas have been asking the president to clarify on what the money has been spent.
La impresión mayoritaria es que se ha avanzado muy poco en la labor de reconstrucción, de lo que se culpa al gobierno (ver este especial multimedia del diario La República al respecto), sin embargo las cifras oficiales indican que hasta la fecha se ha gastado casi 2,000 millones de soles, por lo que los principales afectados han solicitado al presidente que se aclaren estas cifras y se diga en que se va gastando el dinero.
