Sofía Medeles(Ajijic).- The new look of the Ajijic delegation building, which began to be painted last week, has generated controversy and diverse opinions among citizens, due to the color used: blue.
The acting delegate, Maximiliano Macias Arceo, said that he is aware of the opinions, both positive and negative, that this change has caused. He commented that the color was chosen from a range of colors suggested by the State Government for Pueblos Magicos venues, among which were dark greens, browns and cream colors, in addition to two shades of blue.
In social networks and in daily conversations of Ajijic residents, there have been diverse opinions about the new painting among those who support the remodeling and those who did not like the change.
«The government just changed political parties and now they change the color of everything to match. So far the malecon, the cemetery and now the police station. They say they are different tones, but the intention is clear. As a Magic Town, they should regulate this change of colors more. Besides, it would be better to invest in fixing streets, street lights, planters, etc., instead of spending liters and liters of blue paint,» commented Antonio.
In contrast, many other residents agree with the modification. «As long as they paint and show a neat image to tourists, it’s fine, that’s what many of us live on. It is something that has to be done and, in my opinion, this new color is in accordance with Ajijic, because it is a place where water abounds in the historical and cultural aspects», expressed Luis.
Finally, Macias Arceo commented that the moldings of the mural that is on the wall of Hidalgo Street, still need to be painted a color that harmonizes with it. Still missing in the main facade of the painting is the upper part, in addition to the shield of the delegation and the logo of Ajijic Magic Town.
