In his recent visit to the municipality, he claimed to join the claim, however, according to some interviewees, they did not believe him
Governor of Jalisco Enrique Alfaro Ramirez during his visit to supervise the works of the auditorium of the riverbank.
Sofia Medeles (Ajijic, Jal.)– At the end of his visit to the La Ribera auditorium, Governor Enrique Alfaro Ramirez was questioned about his opinion on the «anti-rejas movement», to which he mentioned being aware of their work, and endorsed their work.
«I also joined in the complaint(about illegal building and filling of the Lake), these are acts of loafers that should not be allowed. However, it is not the responsibility of the state government, it is a federal problem, and we hope that the National Water Commission (CONAGUA) will take action on the matter,» said the governor.
He also commented that the issue of the Chapala invasions has not been mentioned specifically in the meetings he has had in Mexico City, but that the review by CONAGUA is a recurring theme, encompassing Lake Chapala, invasions in Lake Cajititlán, the Villa Corona lagoon, and the unregulated discharges into the Santiago River.
Without proposing a solution, he finally added that the problem is that CONAGUA does not regulate the invasions, and furthermore, it has neither the personnel nor the resources to carry out its investigations.
Ajijitecos interviewed both within and outside the movement, declared that they do not believe him, and that in their opinion, it is only a strategy to cover the eye of the beast, «He says it just to make himself look good, because it is an issue that is gaining a lot of momentum. If he were really interested, he would be the first to facilitate and manage solutions to avoid irregularities of this type», commented a member of the movement.
«He talks a lot and does little. I wish it were true what he says, but his words are worth the same as nothing if he is going to look the other way when it comes to action. We are used to promises, but we no longer believe them,» commented a native of the town.
