MEXICO (APR) .- After receiving threats of defense from their territory with other ejidatarios, they killed on October 27 the fire chiefs of the Tule ejido and Portugal, in the municipality of Guadalupe y Calvo.

Joaquín Díaz Morales was 70 years old. For several years, he fought against a group of people who later used a criminal group to defend the territory of their community.

The assassination of one of the leaders of the ejido generated forced displacement of the community, at least three more families than those who had already fled since 2015, because of threat.

The inhabitants of Ejido talked with Appro to make it known that the situation is unsustainable. They have denounced on different occasions and nothing is happening. Díaz Morales had indicated to the authorities who had threatened him.

The South Zone prosecutor's office reported that the man had been killed by two bullets, one in the right maxillary and another in the left side of the neck.

Díaz Morales was located in the Arroyo del Agua, on a dirt road leading from Guadalupe y Calvo to the Mesa de San José, inside a Ford pickup truck, model Ranger Line, model 1996, cherry color plates ED37290.

History of the conflict

The ejidatarios of Tule and Portugal received the property in 1959 and everything went smoothly until in 2014. That year, the inhabitants of a ranch that adjoins an area called Mesa de San José began to be victims of verbal aggression from neighbors located within the boundaries of the ejido that adjoins another particular land also called Mesa de San José, whose owner was Pedro Ruiz. This property is intestate.

In 2015, strangers arrived in the area, accompanying the children of Arturo Ruiz, grandson of the owner of the aforementioned private property. They murdered the ejido commissioner, Crescencio Díaz Vargas, who lived in the Mesa de San José and his lands adjoin those of this intestate land.

Following this homicide, several residents decided to leave their lands, fearing to kill them too. "The murderers have been protected by the predominantly organized crime group there," local residents said.

They spent six months and decided to prosecute Arturo Ruiz Portillo for dispossession because he had taken over the abandoned lands and others who "withdrawn" the Ruiz who still lived there.

In 2016, they quoted Arturo Ruiz and the president of the conservative to try to solve the problem, but everything got worse: they asked both parties to prove that they owned the properties.

A report of topographic expertise was immediately given to the ejido. Arturo Ruiz was asked to provide expert testimony proving that he was the owner of the property, but he did not submit it.

They promised to bring the case to the public prosecutor, but two years passed and they did not do it. This year, the ejidatarios asked why they did not turn the case around and again summoned the defendant.

Arturo Ruiz was upset and threatened to kill several ejidatarios, including Joaquín Díaz.

After 22 days, the ejidatario, found dead on October 27, was deprived of liberty.

The threats began in 2014 and residents have warned the authorities without giving them any solution so far.

"They left their plots abandoned, at least three families fearing that the killers would come back and kill no more people, as they warned, they gave the names of those who followed," added the interviewees. .
