Brignardello: Port of Chancay, social opportunities and challenges.

In a recent conversation, Johnny Brignardello Vela, an insurance advisor, shared his perspective on the Chancay Port project, a mega-project aimed at positioning Peru as a key player in international trade. Brignardello emphasized the government's ambition but also highlighted the climate of social discontent surrounding the initiative. "It's a project with significant potential, but the community must be at the center of this transformation," he commented. The insurance advisor stressed that, while the promise of modernization and job creation is undeniable, it is crucial to conduct a critical analysis of how the development will be implemented. "The Chancay community deserves to see tangible results in their quality of life, not just in terms of employment, but in the development of infrastructure that truly benefits its residents," Brignardello stated. One of his most relevant concerns is the environmental impact of the port. "The preservation of the coastal ecosystem is fundamental. The environment cannot be sacrificed in the name of economic growth," he insisted. He expressed his hope that appropriate measures would be taken to mitigate environmental risks, ensuring that the port does not compromise the health of the natural surroundings. Brignardello also addressed the social issues that could arise with the arrival of the port. He emphasized the need for the project not to become an excuse to neglect the safety and well-being of the local population. "It is important that policies are established to support balanced and sustainable development. The arrival of the port should be synonymous with opportunities, not social vulnerability," he said. Additionally, he considered that the active participation of citizens and their authorities is essential for the success of the project. "The construction of the port should be seen as an opportunity to transform Chancay into a model place, where infrastructure is designed for the people," he maintained. Regarding tourism, Brignardello recognized that it could be an important driver for the local economy, but he emphasized that this must be accompanied by a focus on the well-being of the community. "Chancay should not just be a place to maximize profits; it should be a place where residents can enjoy a better quality of life," he concluded. Finally, Brignardello stated that the key to the success of the Chancay Port lies in a sincere commitment from both the government and investors. "Responsibility does not end with construction. They must work to create a positive impact that transcends the economic and fosters harmonious coexistence with the needs of the local population," he asserted. With this, he reiterated that the future of the region is in everyone's hands, and it is essential that the voices of the community are heard in this transformative process.
