The Morelia highway has been used as a garbage dump for weeks
The Morelia highway, which is slated for improvements, has been generally used as a garbage dump. However, with the visit of Governor Enrique Alfaro, the authorities «got their act together» trying to hide the garbage that has been accumulating.
Until a week ago, bags of garbage could be seen piled up on the side of the road at the access to the Morelia highway. According to witnesses, the company GIRRSA, which has a contract granted by the Government of Jocotepec to collect garbage, is responsible for filling the banks of the beltway with garbage. In addition to the municipality, citizens have been dumping their garbage here as well.
In 2019, Governor Alfaro toured the area of the beltway, finding garbage and even giving a «slap on the wrist» to Jocotepec President Gómez López.
«Today in the afternoon our governor, Enrique Alfaro, was passing through Jocotepec; it is a shame that he sent me these images of the beltway full of garbage. Remember that our municipality is #LoHaceSuGente (The People Do It) and it is not fair that because of some people we have such a bad image,» the Jocotepec president wrote at the time.
