The AGRARIAN PROBLEM BETWEEN The MUNICIPALITY And ITS
AGENCY
Being San Miguel Aloapam the municipality and San Isidro
Aloapam the agency.
The inconformidades arise to raiz from which San Miguel Aloapam
begins to make the logging of our natural resources in year 1963.
Then the people who are in San Isidro Aloapam went to the
communal leaders of the municipality San Miguel Aloapam so that they
gave labor participation them since in that people only podian to
develop, even though to many people did not employ to them. But
to those of San Miguel Aloapam they provided to them widely, making
exception to people of San Isidro Aloapam.
IT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF I LIE FOREST
Later, the company Fabricas de Papel Tuxtepec
(Fapatux) made a contract of concession of 25 years of purchase and
sale of products
forest of San Miguel Aloapam and the agency of San Isidro
Aloapam, since both towns estan in possession of the communal lands,
that estan populated with forest resources of different species.
Mention does, which from previous years both towns take care of
and protect the communal area that belongs to them, being asi that the
settlers who inhabit in this agency San Isidro Aloapam make their
participation constant and actively on the route in you limit them of
colindancias with the towns in colindancia.
During this period of advantage of forest resources it handled
San Miguel to them Aloapam, being the town with mayoria of comuneros
and to San Isidro they granted 25% to him of the production of the
logging. In references to works of cleaning against fires and
reforestation San Miguel Aloapam and their agency are repartian
between San Isidro Aloapam.
In labor function of Fapatux, the towns San Miguel Aloapam and
San Isidro Aloapam combine the works existing todavia an in agreement
agreement for both towns.
A COMMUNAL CENSUS And ITS PROBLEMS
In year 1966 I rise to a communal census of San Miguel
Aloapam and their agency San Isidro Aloapam. This document
volume as censal registry of comuneros and bases for you transact of
the informative tecnicos works for the recognition and degree of lands
of community goods of the town San Miguel Aloapam and San Isidro
Aloapam.
This I update myself in year 80 to continue you transact them
before the Secretary of the Agrarian Reformation but by the bad faith
of the communal and municipal authorities of San Miguel Aloapam they
excluded in the updated document the comuneros of San Isidro Aloapam.
Not being in agreement with this, the comuneros of San Isidro
Aloapam initiated a legal fight so that our municipality San Miguel
Aloapam recognized our agrarian rights that legally correspond to us.
Two years Since, were recognized in an assembly
general to 141 inhabitants of San Isidro Aloapam like
comuneros, but not change the document and seguiamos without appearing
in the agrarian registry.
THE COMMUNAL COMPANY
For these heights the contract of concession of
Fapatux was finished; then Fapatux tries to renew a new contract
of concession, attempt that the town San Isidro Aloapam was against,
obtaining to that acceptance the attempt of Fapatux in 1983 not to
renew its contract because the comuneros of San Isidro Aloapam
interposed a shelter against Fapatux obtaining the resolution of this
shelter in our favor.
Once being autonoma with our forests, in the year of 1983 it was
had
a contract with a particular company of Jorge name Villa
Santes. It was the one who I operate our forest approximately 2
years.
Once analyzing the financial results with this company,
considering of very low utility, reason why the personnel of
S.R.A.Y.D.F. reason to the comuneros of San Miguel Aloapam and their
agency San Isidro Aloapam so that a communal company with denomination
U.E.E.A.F.C is constituted. San Miguel Aloapam and their annexed
San Isidro Aloapam, being named by agreements of general assembly of
common of both towns, the members of the administration advice.
And by agreement of mayoria of the asambleistas a comunero of
our agency was taken into account San Isidro Aloapam.
Of year 1985 up to 1994 we were working together in this
communal company, although San Miguel Aloapam I remain with the
utility and single I pay a pay to us to which we worked.
THE FIGHT BY THE RECOGNITION
Throughout this time has come fighting and
soliciting to the communal and municipal authorities from San Miguel
Aloapam so that they recognize our agrarian rights to us that legally
correspond to us and that are habian lost in year 80. We also
went to different gubermentales instances state as as much federal,
but we have not either had any favorable solution in our favor,
Since of a long time of gestoria by the incomplete resolution that
the municipality comes to us manipulating to its own way.
That from the point of view we have tests with documents in
where they hid the agrarian census, they erased the name of San Isidro
Aloapam that venia in the flat project.
The Expulsion
From year 1995 no longer they employed to neither
participation nor to us in the company In the same year, the
Commissariat of Community goods of our municipality, it turns an
office in where says to traves of its writing that the inhabitants of
San Isidro Aloapam do not podian to use the lena for the use domestic
servant. It deprives our dueno right as of forest and makes
mention that is the unicos possessors of earth when we also are
possessors so that we lived Here, our town this founded on the area of
the Community goods, that is a surface of 13.518,4693 hectareas of
lands in general. As much the municipality and as the agency
estan in possession. Falsely they want to expel people from San
Isidro Aloapam, that is the same people, the same race, that we spoke
the same language that is the Zapoteca.
The town of San Miguel Aloapam has been worth and it is worth by
the support of our governors to traves of its corrupt employees who
have let themselves bribe without taking into account the dano which
they cause the families who live in the town of San Isidro Aloapam.
Palace of Government, Secretary of Interior, Agrarian
Conciliation, Agrarian Procuraduria, all these dependencies know the
problem but although in several entrevistamos occasions to them, they
say that they do not know or later they decide the case. The
reporters of the state have taken and known to the important point but
when publishing our problem far
to publish the truth, better they desvian the subject,
so that
Mexican town does not know it.
