Congressman Carlos Meisel, president of the Territorial Planning Commission, issued a stern warning to Mayor Char regarding the ongoing territorial litigation between Barranquilla and Puerto Colombia. [^1]

On September 3, 2026, Barranquilla Mayor Alejandro Char announced that the district would assume administration and investments in Villa Campestre, the university corridor, and Ciudad Mallorquín, arguing these territories always belonged to the capital of the Atlantic department. [^2]

The author proposes creating a single national entity called the National Property Department, with direct dependence on the Presidency, to unify all property functions. [^3]

The author states that Colombian democracy is currently undermined because private property rights depend on five fragmented state entities that operate as isolated islands. [^4]

Meisel cautioned that advancing interventions in these zones without exhausting corresponding legal instances could generate new controversies and lawsuits against the district. [^5]

Meisel stated that the mayor's team cannot define the status of these territories because such actions leave them susceptible to new legal demands. [^6]

Finance Minister Miguel Gómez indicated the need to cut $21.9 billion in public spending to address the inefficiencies caused by the fragmented property system. [^7]

The author, who served as the former Superintendent of Notary Public and Registry, stated that he fought without truce against the corruption within this fragmented system. [^8]
