DOUBLE EDGE
PRIVATE THE MEXICAN BEACHES
The frustration of the national tourism when wanting to occupy a space to rest in front of the beach is strengthened with the help of the authorities that, on the contrary, would have to guarantee the free transit to the walkers.
Concrete walls, fences, bars, protect luxurious suites, golf courses, restaurants and more properties of large consortiums that violate the Mexican Constitution against the indifference of past governments, which in the first instance allowed them to do so.
Poverty on the other side of the wall, where those who were born in those territories are no longer allowed to pass because they affect the landscape, despite the fact that activists fight this abuse, the inhabitants or national tourists prefer not to cross the walls and, over time, The belief that you can't really step on those areas increases, making people who can choose to pay the cost of enjoying themselves and those who don't, become discouraged.
The 20 meters of the beach inside from the sea line is a federal asset, as established by Mexican law. A company or a person can acquire rights over that part, but cannot limit access. Of the total of the Mexican coasts, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat), in charge of concessioning the Federal Terrestrial Maritime Zone, left about 153 square kilometers in private hands, according to El País in an investigation, in which he highlighted that until last year 32.2 percent of the national total was privatized.
In the report Differentiation of the coastal space of Mexico: a regional inventory, carried out by UNAM, reveals that the Mexican Republic has 23,688 kilometers of coastline (not counting the mouths of the rivers), 14,738 in the Pacific Ocean and 8,977 between Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico. The part granted by the Semarnat, which includes permits ranging from tourism to fishing or the protection of the territory, represents 32.2% of that total.
The excessive tourism is invading these paradisiacal places, it is a lie that the economic spill is for the benefit of states such as Quintana Roo, Nayarit, Sinaloa, Sonora, Baja California, and Baja California Sur, where the sector has allowed the construction of huge hotels, apartments, and clubs.
The arrest of two national tourists, last weekend on the beach concessioned to the Mamitas club, in the Mayan Rivera, exposes that anyone who does not feel like eating and just lying in front of the beach is in danger of being violated by the police that should safeguard us. Fortunately, Mayor Laura Beristain Navarrete publicly acknowledged that the Mexican Constitution ensures the free transit and enjoyment of Mexican beaches and publicly apologized to those affected.
In other places it does not happen the same, you still see the walls that prevent the passage, where there were up to 60 public accesses today are less than 10. Hopefully, the Secretariat headed by Miguel Torruco Marqués begins to regulate these spaces that according to the General Law of National goods belong to all Mexicans.
Last year, Morena promoted a law that prohibits the privatization of beaches where it is established that, if not respected, the owners or concessionaires of the land near the beaches that impede people's access will be sanctioned with a fine of between 3 thousand and 12 thousand times the Measurement and Update Unit (UMA), have they already fined the Mamitas club?
Tourism is one of the most important sectors for the country, employs more than 9 million Mexicans and contributes 8.5 percent to the gross domestic product. For some places this excessive growth represents the decline, for example, in the Riviera Maya hotels and water parks have appropriated more than one million 960 thousand square meters of coastal coastline.
The list of companies and individuals benefiting from coastal coastlines totals 386 in Solidaridad, Quintana Roo. Those of general use (with economic benefit) total 815 thousand 254 square meters, which represent 41.5 percent of the total concession area. Other companies benefited under this scheme are Representaciones Turística de México, S.A. from C.V. (19 thousand 706 square meters); Quiroocan, S.A. from C.V. (19 thousand 924 square meters for tourism and dock berth); and Cassisjango, S. de R.L. (19 thousand 290 square meters for the provision of tourist services in Puerto Aventuras) and many more.
