Conflicto
Facilities secured & guarded
Resguarda instalaciones
0 09 de octubre de 2015 By Carlos GascaFollowing the eviction on Wednesday from a property in the Federal Zone along Rueda Medina avenue (main street), APIQRoo is keeping the property under guard until it is determined which individual holds the concession. The Harbor Master, Ismael Gonzalez Gil, confirmed on Wednesday that his office was in the process of securing (impounding) the pier of 80 meters, which is owned by Alvaro Burgos Rios.He said that these procedures are a precautionary measure for alleged illegal occupation of a port facility and for not having authorization for its use. At this time, both facilities are secured, and if the owner of the pier does not have it 'regularized', they will pursue demolition and removal of the pier.Regarding Brisas Grill Restaurant, the eviction took some hours and the instructions came from Mexico City via the Director General of Ports. The Harbor Master said, "As you can verify, the occupants did not have the authorization to occupy this property, and therefore the property was impounded."
