Leer más...The police, both municipal (PMP) and State (PJE), prevented an occupation of a home in the irregular colonia of Guadalupana, at 10 am this morning. In the plywood home, the police found a family comprised of Felipe Reyes Borges, Benita Serval Noh, and their two children, who at first refused to leave the newly occupied home. Some said the house was uninhabited all the time, and had been assigned to people in need, while others said this was not correct to occupy that space.
There are ongoing controversies between the people who were associated with deceased leader Gaspar "Mucaro" Gomez Tur, and a group of residents called "Del Pintor". The police said there will be no tolerance of this type of activity, which could generate social conflict and violence. The colonia was formed as an 'invasion' or occupation of abandoned property over 10 years ago.

It was formerly used to fry a variety of foods, including seafood, in various restaurants, snack bars, and similar businesses.

Winds that were gusting to 60km caused problems for the fishermen and nautical tour operators, although boats over 40 feet were not experiencing problems. However the winds caused a reduction in the number of tourists interested in nautical activities. The winds from the south were not causing any problems within the bay or for the tour groups from Cancun. The Surada winds are a common activity this time of year, and are predicted to last through Thursday.
