Mayors from communes including Independencia, La Pintana and Estación Central reported finding several Haitian minors after a Contraloría pre-report detected traceability issues in 105 family reunification cases.
Social Development Minister María Jesús Wulf clarified that PDI identified 33 of the 64 children from the pre-report and that cases reported by municipalities do not necessarily correspond to that list.
Undersecretary of Childhood Marcelo Sánchez estimated the search could be completed on Monday, though he warned of gaps in data cross-referencing between state agencies.
In parallel, the Foreign Ministry appointed Marco Antonio Aguayo as special ambassador to Haiti to gather information and support the reopening of the consulate in Port-au-Prince.
Wulf stressed that the priority is the minors' well-being and that work is underway to strengthen state coordination and prevent similar situations.
