Tenacatita Bay, JAL., August 8 .- The businessman Jose Maria Andres Villalobos kept his word when it ruled that two years would take "a chingadazos" the inhabitants of Tenacatita, who are living there over 40 years. About thirty State Police raided the village to evict its inhabitants, literally "to chingadazos."

Yesterday evening, one by one and watched by dozens of police, the peasants went home crestfallen and businesses Tenacatita beach to collect what remained of their belongings. Then they were forced to leave the village without delay. They had been folded after 24 hours of violence and tear that led to the imprisonment of many of its neighbors, and were forced to resign over half a century of possession.

"They have felt abandoned," said the former councilman Salvador Magana, who became one of its main spokesmen during the crisis and described the final moments of the disadvantaged resistance.

The eviction of Aug. 4, before dawn, by a court order in favor of the estate Rodenas, was transformed into scenes of violence between 22:00 am and two in the morning yesterday. The police made 200 detonations of firearms and, in the version of the peasants, would have up to 27 detainees, including three bullet wounds. The facts were raised after the police tried to "break" the encampment in the road out of the coast, which had taken possession yesterday morning. The hit took ten trips of materials to make the catch insurmountable advantage that police officers had set up two roadblocks to prevent their return to claim their belongings.

This is the version of events that hours later, federal deputy for the Labour Party, Enrique Ibarra Pedroza, before the State Human Rights Commission of Jalisco.

The irritation of the inhabitants began at an early stage of the eviction. "Backed by civil state troopers dressed in yellow, I suppose to identify themselves, helped to carry out acts of vandalism, took all the belongings of the residents and threw into the street, also destroyed houses and huts and broken glass house and car, drove home and hotels, take into account that an eviction should be assisted in every home by the secretary doing the same. "

At the end of the coach after the departure of the clerk of the court, began the assault by police to "bust" the fence that prevented them from leaving. Gunshots were heard, there were arrests and many residents had to flee by swimming the river purification.

So ran the prediction of the owner of Rodenas, Jose Maria Andres Villalobos, who a couple of years ago had warned that landholders would drive the "even at chingadazos" (La Jornada Jalisco, June 30, 2008). Today, expects to begin to realize his dream of a luxury hotel with golf course.

The residents of El Rebalsito still had energy to block more than two hours the federal highway 200, until shortly after noon. Throughout the day there were statements in the media outraged deputies in favor or against. And the National Farmers Confederation threatened to resurrect the camp to demand the return of the federal zone farmers, traders and fishermen stripped. But yesterday the prisoners sleep in cells or in the hospital, and their families do not find comfort.

Found severely beaten in the cells of the Public Prosecutor of the inhabitants of El Cihuatlán Rebalsito were arrested early yesterday by the State Police.

In the court of first instance Cihuatlán statement was taken, but the agency refused to provide information on the status of detainees. It was learned that three wounded by gunfire: Guadalupe Israel, Fabián Vera Cruz and Jose Flores, the last 75 years, they will be placed in the hospital nursing Cihuatlán regional. There are 27 people available to the public prosecutor of the town. There was no official government version of the facts of Jalisco Tenacatita. Jose Maria Andres Villalobos, the trader who received the eviction, has an application for public to give their version that has not responded. (Cihuatlán. Pedro Silva)
