He was allowed to remove the trash to avoid being fined
The case was exposed in the municipality’s social networks, allegedly showing municipal workers with the accused blurred out.
Editorial staff.- A man who was caught dumping in a lot on the side of the Jocotepec highway avoided a fine of up to 30,000 pesos after agreeing to remove his own trash and more, which had been dumped in the location weeks earlier.
The accused appeared in a video on the Government of Jocotepec’s social networks. According to the municipal trustee, Carlos Alberto Zúñiga Chacón, it shows what appears to be a worker of the municipality and the accused, whose face in the video was blurred to protect his identity.
The trustee said that the person was caught, but that he was not going to be sanctioned because he agreed to remove his own trash and more. It is not known who authorized the agreement instead of applying a fine as required by law, nor whether this criterion is applied to the entire population and, if so, under what circumstances.
The area where the trash was seen, almost at the Guadalajara-Morelia highway, has remained full of trash, giving those driving by a negative image of the municipality. Before a visit by the Governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, in May, an improvised clean-up took place using backhoe machines to hide the dumping spot as much as possible, so that the governor would not notice the waste.
The municipality has previously made appeals to the population not to litter, especially in the section of the Guadalajara-Morelia highway leading to El Molino, where the trash began to accumulate.
