Header translation: “There is no concession.” The golf course exploited by Salinas Pliego will become a Conservation Area, AMLO announces.

Salinas Pliego is one of the top oligarchs here in Mexico and until august 2022 the government conceded the use of a golf course and a beach in Huatulco, Oaxaca. The local government has accused this bourgeois mf of illegally extracting around 350 thousand liters of water daily from the nearby conservation areas to water the grass in the golf course. Apparently, the federal government gave Salinas Pliego the opportunity to purchase the terrain with the condition that he would have to pay for the maintenance (because of course, the maintenance was paid by the Fonatur, the National Fund for the Promotion of Turism). Since he didn’t answer, the president has moved to nationalize it and declare the area a Conservation Area and merge both the golf course and the beach with the surrounding Conservation Areas to make a national park “for public enjoyment”, along with the regularization of the land which is inhabited by around 2500 families so that they can’t have it taken away in the future by private business.

No wonder the US is attempting to meddle in the coming elections in Mexico.
