It was a matter of days, several testimonies agreed. In that tourist resort drug and prostitution run "blatantly", but the authorities "colluded" or the local press investigate, accused, not to tarnish the image of the site where tourism is the main economic activity, including drug consumption . At festivals such as music BPM, held yesterday, organized crime charges right of floor, said a woman and architect SinEmbargo living in Playa del Carmen.



"This has dyes organized crime and floor right. For all those events [the music festival] is known by all who charge them floor right, "the man said by telephone.


"The BPM has 10 consecutive years of being made in Playa del Carmen and by the type of event the cartel asks to put its marksmen. They say that it is for the collection of the floor, others because they did not allow access to the shooter. But it was certainly due to problems with narcomenudeo, "the woman wrote.

The architect stressed that this shooting is not an isolated incident. Yesterday they found a corpse around the house and learned of a person raped in a popular colony.

"In general there are many robberies, delinquency and drug addiction; Many things are minimized, "he said.

According to a statement for Radio Fórmula of the Attorney General of Quintana Roo, Miguel Angel Pech Cen, the alleged attacker of the Playa del Carmen nightclub entered the place to shoot directly against a man from Veracruz, who is one of the Five dead.

"There is no shot at ton or son .... The person who enters goes exclusively to this person [the Veracruz], and his group of guards try to help him and respond to the aggression.

He said that the victim was from Veracruz and, according to official investigations, would be part of the security team of the BPM Festival, which last night held the closing of its tenth edition at the club Blue Parrot, one of the largest in this resort. However, he acknowledged that the relatives of the Mexican victim, who already claimed the body, alleged that he works "in a dependency" and was in the holiday resort.

GOVERNMENT AND LOCAL PRESS CALLAN

Before, in a press conference, the Prosecutor of Quintana Roo said that they have no indications that at the Blue Parrot nightclub, where the BPM festival was, drugs are sold.

Until November 2016, the Executive Secretariat records 228 homicides in Quintana Roo, one of the states with the highest economic growth. In the second quarter of last year, based mainly on tourism, grew 5.2 percent, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).

"If it had not happened before, it's because God is great," said the architect. "It's a heavenly place, a beautiful place, but we do not want it to become Acapulco and as we go ... It is known that there are cartels of two, three sides, but they keep the thing quiet because they know that the mine of the eggs of Gold, "the man added.


The woman consulted agreed that the state government, currently headed by Carlos Joaquín González, "is worried" about the image of Playa del Carmen as a destination, since "that is where the economy depends."

On the other hand, both sources said, organized crime "has bought the heads of the municipal police of Solidaridad [where is Playa del Carmen]," said the young woman. "The government will act in support of the victims, but I think it does not want to involve the narco and uncover the corruption and nepotism that exists in the Riviera Maya. It is a perverse background as the consumption of drugs by tourists is immense. "

The local press is also silent.

"The PRI and now PAN authorities are only hiding the real situation of the state. Regarding the press, the national newspapers do not even come here. There are none. It is a tremendous manipulation. What was known about former governor Roberto Borge [accused of corruption] we all knew, but no newspaper communicated; Are pure praises to the state government, "added the man interviewed.
In the early hours of Monday, the Attorney General of Quintana Roo held a press conference.

"Do you know that drugs and alcohol are sold there?" - a reporter at the conference questioned, where it was detailed that one person entered the discotheque with a firearm and another tried to avoid it, reason why they began to shoot each other. The fire was distributed in several parts of the place.

"No, we have no knowledge of it being sold." If we are aware, the Special Prosecutor's Office for narcomenudeo will do the corresponding investigations, "said the prosecutor.

However, in an interview, the architect and a woman living in Playa del Carmen, as well as Twitter users said the place sells drugs and alcohol adulterated.

"Everyone knows that drugs are sold in BPM," the woman said. At the venue of the festival, which has been held in Playa del Carmen for ten years, enter "shooters" and are placed near the baths.
"The organizers mainly hire security from Canada [two of the dead are Canadians] as security chiefs. However, at the entrance only check that you do not carry alcohol. They come with backpacks full of all kinds of drugs, "he detailed by message on Facebook.

- Could it have been a clash between criminal gangs? Another reporter asked.

"Until we exhaust the investigation we can answer," said Pech Cen.

However, the architect stated that the drug is handled "in a blatant way" and "it is incredible" how adulterated alcohol abounds in the dens. "Organized crime reaches the dens and tells them to sell their drinks and if not, to take care of the consequences."

There are 5 dead in Playa del Carmen, 4 of them foreigners; There are 15 wounded and 4 arrested
One goes down the street, he said, and they offer marijuana cocaine or women. "The charging of flat to taxi drivers and businesses, collusion of authority and human trafficking are also blatant. At the Blue Parrot I assure you that there is a drug sale. "

A Spaniard who has lived in Mexico for a few years had gone on vacation to Playa del Carmen a week ago. It was right on 12th Street. It has gone "about twenty times" to the Riviera Maya area.

"Playa del Carmen, like all areas of beach tourism and crazy party, has addiction, prostitution and drugs everywhere. But lately there is also talk of extortion to business, rape ... Most people live outside this, but it is known to occur. There is something that was not seen before. On the beach, along with the tourists, there are usually six or seven young, dark-haired men standing watchful and defiant, waiting for someone to take off to steal ... The atmosphere is much more vicious, "he wrote to this site.

In social networks, users also reported the sale of drugs in Playa del Carmen.

"Do not go saying that what happened in Blue Parrot was a terrorist act, in Playa del Carmen they sell drugs as if they were garnachas," one wrote. "Everyone who has gone to Playa del Carmen knows that drugs are all that they give, but what do the authorities do? Nothing".

Others criticized the lack of authority and consequences.

"With the shooting in Playa del Carmen is going to end the other hen of the golden eggs, the one that remained," said one user. "Sad to see that thanks to the corruption and the sale of shit in the streets thousands of tourists will be lost," predicted another.

"Sorry about the Blue Parrot, but it's a warning that that area should be more guarded," someone else asked.
