Victims blockade on the coast of Oaxaca (@Tiempo Digital)
On November 29th, people affected by the September earthquakes that particularly affected the state of Oaxaca blocked roads on the Salina Cruz-La Ventosa stretches, in the vicinity of Mixtequilla and on the Huatulco-Salina Cruz highway, at Santiago Astata to denounce the absence of responses to the problems from the authorities almost three months after the earthquakes.
The victims regretted taking these actions, but “the government does not pay any attention to us, nor to the municipal president himself”, so “they did not let us exert any other pressure”.
They affirmed that the promises of support for housing have not been fulfilled, there are cloned cards, and the census is incomplete because the Secretariat of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (SEDATU in its Spanish acronym) has a list of more than 1,020 damaged houses, but support has only arrived arrived for 480.
