Remberto continues with 'intention' to pay but does not know when or how much LINK
The Mayor of Benito Juarez (Cancun) insisted there is an "intention and willingness" to pay the debt owed to Isla Mujeres for landfill usage, but he didn't know when, nor even the total amount of the debt. Isla Mujeres Mayor Juan Carrillo Soberanis has said that the debt now exceeds 20 million pesos, and has been dragging on for several years.
Mr Estrada Barba said a similar thing on June 1st, when National Navy Day was being celebrated and he spoke of a will and an intention to cover this debt, which could greatly help the municipality of Isla Mujeres and solve the problem with the garbage trucks. At the meeting yesterday, he was once again asked about this debt and responded that there is a 'political will'. He said, "We will be seeing in the next few days the political will of Cancun to favor this issue that has been neglected for many years." He said he didn't know the total amount of the debt but he remembered that the agreement was for 200,000 pesos a month.
This is how Mayor Remberto Estrada Barba responded this morning regarding the debt of more than 20 million to the municipality of Isla Mujeres. VIDEO

Simulation of tsunami alert
Realizan simulacro de tsunami de gabinete.. [+] Ver masFull article at this link
The simulation of the tsunami in Isla Mujeres took place which was a coordination of protocols with all security agencies of the three levels of government. The exercise took place from 8am to 3pm. The first warning of a possible tsumani in Mexican Caribbean waters occurred before midnight on January 10, when an earthquake of 6.7 degrees on the Richter scale occurred 202 kilometers northeast of Honduras.
A statement from the Navy said, "This exercise will be carried out to improve the preparation efforts and response times, in the face of a possible tsunami in the entire region of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea, which will help ensure that the Naval Command, as well as the State Civil Protection units and Municipal, are prepared to respond, in case of tsunami and possible problems that may arise."
Low level of activity at PROFECO module
Escasa actividad en módulo de Profeco [+] Ver masFull article at this link
Since the PROFECO (Federal Consumer Protection Attorney's Office) module returned to Isla Mujeres about ayear abo, it has served 28 consumers and supplies. Of the 28 people served, 11 were suppliers who requested information about scale calibrations and about 'contracts of adhesion'. Of the 17 consumers who visited the module, two went to file complaints against suppliers who failed to exhibit prices, which were routed to the Verification and Surveillance Department of the Quintana Roo Delegation, for the corresponding procedures.
Five consumers lodged their complaint in the Quintana Roo Delegation, four consumers managed to make immediate conciliation and six consumers because they could not reach an immediate conciliation and were tourists, were informed of the procedure to file their complaint when they arrived in their city of origin with the nearest PROFECO agency.
In the past, representatives of the business organizations have demanded better supervision of the jewelry stores, which have had complaints online at various websites where this destination is marketed. Now the entrepreneurs are pointing out that PROFECO is keeping a low profile.
