Permanent suspension of works at the Malecon TAJAMAR AMPARO TO RESOLVE IN CANCUN. QUINTANA ROO
CANCUN, MX.- Advocates mangrove Tajamar obtained this morning a major victory after the second district judge in Quintana Roo, Gerardo Vázquez Morales, gave the definitive suspension against slashing, clearing, filling and related works construction on the boardwalk.
With this injunction all jobs in that place stop, until the judge Vazquez Morales resolved thoroughly under file number 086/2016, promoted by the citizen Silvia Fuentes Calleja against the National Fund for Tourism Development (FONATUR ) and the city of Benito Juarez (Cancun).
"(Suspension) represents a hope that there is an authority that is beginning to work in this country and that is gaining credibility, judges are defending the citizens," said Araceli Dominguez Political Animal, official spokesperson of the movement for Tajamar salvation.
"We won a big battle, as the court suspended the destruction until the amparo judgment is issued, so the process continues," the group Save Mangrove Tajamar on his Facebook page.
Dominguez explained that there are at least 14 injunctions brought by citizens, including 113 children and a child under 10 months, which is represented by his mother. These will be resolved in the coming days.
Fonatur can still challenge the judge's decision, and if so, would be a collegiate court which would give a final ruling on the case. "The possibility of the suspension is very large," said the spokeswoman.
If the judge ultimately resolved in favor of the activists, Tajamar has hope to regenerate.
Dominguez explained that there are several biologists who have volunteered to work in the mangrove reforestation, which would take about three years.
