Eviction in the Federal Zone
CONFLICTO
Desalojan una Zona Federal
0 08 de octubre de 2015 By Carlos Gasca
Federal authorities intervened yesterday, when the Director General of the Ports was assisted by the Navy and the PGR (Attorney General's office) to evict Brisas Grill Restaurant, which had been operating under the management of Wbeimar Maldonado. Apparently, the dispute between the two parties was concluded two years ago, but it was not until yesterday when the General Director of Ports decided to claim ownership of the property, which is to be assigned to another individual, under a contract with APIQRoo (the state Port Authority), because this individual has defended their application for possession of the property. This is an area of just over 250 square meters which includes a restaurant, several adjoining premises, and a wooden pier, as well as the surface of the water nearby.

Eviction of "Brisas Grill" Restaurant
Desalojan el restaurante “Brisas Grill” Ver mas
There has been a long dispute between two parties over an area of 250 square meters in the Federal Zone, which includes the Brisas Grill restaurant, several adjoining premises and a wooden pier, which resulted in an eviction this (yesterday) afternoon by the General Director of the Merchant Marines, assisted by the PGR (Attorney General's office). The occupants of the stores were evicted, of this property owned by Sra Gloria del Pilar Rodriguez, including the main building.
It is alleged that she did not file documents in a timely manner with the SCT (Department of Communications and Transport) regarding documentation for SEMARNAT (Department of the Environment and Natural Resources), which has allowed the Marquez Martinez family to reclaim the Federal Zone concession. This happened in October 2005 when Hurricane Wilma damaged the property.
A reporter contacted Gloria del Pilar on Monday, who said she plans to try to recover the property, and is seeking legal counsel to initiate a fight to reverse this decision in her favor. There has been a complaint between the involved parties that apparently was concluded two years ago, but it was not until today (yesterday) with the General Director of the Ports decided to reclaim the property, which is under contract with the Port Authority, and another individual had filed and pursued the application for possession of the property.
