CANCUN, Q. Roo. - The residential tourist development Soto Lindo, more than nine thousand 600 rooms in the mainland of Isla Mujeres, will cause irreversible damage to nearly 70 species of flora and fauna protected by NOM059 of the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (LEGEEPA), and despite the recommendations of environmental groups to stop such development permits, SEMARNAT gave input to this investment of over a thousand 400 million dollars, which are involved in Hernández Felipe Enriquez, a mayoral candidate in Monterrey and friend of the PRI-PVEM candidate for president, Enrique Peña Nieto, former governor of Nuevo Leon, Natividad Gonzalez Paras, and businessman Arturo Bojorquez Jalisco Leon.
The Mexican Center for Environmental Law (Cemda) filed on 1 June this year, a petition for annulment permits the megaproject that borders the east and north by the Bahia de Mujeres, on the west by the lake Chacmuchuch, and south with Angostura in the Continental Zone Municipality of Isla Mujeres, before the Board of the Caribbean Regional Federal Court of Fiscal and Administrative Justice, because the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) failed to substantiate the reasons and motives for giving such approval according to the law, that is, had to justify in detail the articles of law to support his decision.
"Do not give up as lost (the trial), we have seen decisions that surprise us and each day we have more officials on the court are aware of this and I think the demand for revocation be successful," said Alejandra Serrano Pavón, the representative Cemda regional.
According to information published by Indigo Report on 30 May, Philip Enriquez Hernandez, candidate for mayor of Monterrey, friend of presidential candidate for the Institutional Revolutionary Party and the Green Ecological Mexico (PRI-PVEM), Enrique Peña Nieto, and close friend of the candidate for senator from Quintana Roo, Felix Gonzalez Canto. The former PRI governor of Nuevo Leon, Natividad Gonzalez Paras, and businessman Arturo Bojorquez Leon, are part of a company whose majority shareholder is the Spanish group Martinon, mega manager, Enriquez Hernandez is also a project partner in Tulum Punta Piedra.
The same report says that according to the Public Registry of Property of Nuevo Leon, integrate two new shareholders: Real Consulting SA de CV and GH Consortium Inc. de CV, in which it appears Luis Francisco Gonzalez Paras, brother of former Gov. Natividad Gonzalez Paras, his son and his son, and Hugo Flores Estate Consulting shows Toba, brother of Philip Enriquez, as well as businessman Arthur Millet Yucatan.
Environmental lawyer for the accusations of the media on political interests embroiled in the mega project can give the public an idea of why it was passed despite the many irregularities, which added to the environmental costs that means carrying out building Soto Lindo, could tip the balance in favor of nullity.
"I bet that the court grant us the demand because too many environmental costs that are clearly seen, and although we are not our responsibility nor has this part was so gross how they are breached, you see how these policy approaches have to do with getting a license, and therefore should not move now, especially the attacks it has received the draft not only environmental, but the questions of land tenure and who are investing "he said.
With respect to environmental and irregularities of the project, explained that both Serrano Pavón Semarnat as the Federal Environmental Protection (Profepa) have been compromised by approving the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) of the mega project in November 2011 , contrary to the laws themselves not only national but also at least two international treaties signed by Mexico.
In fact, the rapporteur presented by the Secretariat for Management for Environmental Protection, Directorate General of Environmental Impact and Risk (DGIRA) SGPA/DGIRA/DG/8459 explains that made comments and observations on the project, focused on not authorizing it, which stresses that contravenes the provisions of Article 60TER of the General Law of Wildlife, is located about 70 species of flora and fauna protected by NOM 059 and to "change the hydrologic region, so far cataloged by the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO) as a priority ", and five reports of clearing and removal of mangroves and coastal dune without authorization, among other anomalies, but the authorities granted permission.
But not only in obtaining permits to carry out the mega abnormalities have been found, since according to the trades SEDUMA/DGJ/2161/2002, responding under 1558/99 and 002382 of the State Government Secretariat Quintana Roo, dated June 10, 2002, is reported to Rosalio Sánchez León León and Arturo Bojorquez, the Second District Court in the state gave them the protection of the decree published in the Official Journal of the Federation determined in 1999 limits the Natural Protected Area (PA) Chacmuchuc Lagoon System, that is, that their land would no longer be viewed as part of the ANP.
"Part of the land you have (Arturo Bojorquez) was ANP and since no one defended the decree, that part was lost, how the state can not litigate a protected area, it has lost, that's part of a series irregularities and actions are not willing to continue to let go, "added the representative of Cemda.
There are also studies that make clear that any filling in the area will impact on the NPA, Isla Contoy and Chacmuchuc lagoon and the species that inhabit them, including birds, reptiles and mammals, as well as in water for injection the brine of the treated water to be used for the project, while the chemical to be used for the golf course that is part of it, would be a risk to the population, since the type of soil in the area does not allow the minimum exposure of 24 hours for dissipation, which would mean a high probability of contamination of the water consumed by the population.
PDU itself mainland Isla Mujeres explains that "in short, in the municipality of Isla Mujeres, on the mainland, we identified 12 species of flora that are registered in the NOM 059-ECOL-1994, with categories of threatened , rare and specially protected.
"I do not see how to rescue Cute Soto, to the vulnerability that currently has site-in fact, believe there is no technology that can make this a sustainable development," said the representative of Cemda, given the existing environmental problems in the area, ranging from loss of up to 70% in some parts of the beach and constant appearance of feces on the beach, reported by neighbors, which means high levels of pollution, among others.
