Shareholders of the common land of Chan Yokdzonot and Pisté, where the Tren Maya stations are located, have not yet been compensated for the land invaded in the project.
Furthermore, they still don’t know if they are going to be paid, but they regret that the federal government only makes them do fruitless procedures and paperwork and have always been deceived.
Although all the Tren Maya stations are already operating, the federal government expropriated 91.4 hectares in five states, with 45.3 hectares (almost 50%) in nine Yucatecan municipalities, according to the decree published in the Official Gazette of the Federation.
In Yucatán, the measure affects 48 properties distributed in Mérida, Kanasín, (with 28 plots of land, the largest number), in Umán, Tixpéhual, Tixkokob, Chocholá, Izamal (with the largest plot of land 43,811.29 m2), Tinum and Valladolid.
In the case of the municipality of Tinum, it is believed that it is the land that was used in the construction of the Tren Maya station, on the edge of the federal toll road just at kilometer 117, shortly after passing the toll booth traveling from west to east, that is, from Mérida to this city.
The shareholders ignore the expropriation process, because until now no one has told them anything, and until now no one has approached them to negotiate the compensation they should have paid.
In the case of Valladolid, at the time the shareholders of the Chan Yokdzonot police station blocked the road to their land because part of it was what was used for the construction of the access road to the station.
At the time they were offered compensation for more than $2 million, in addition to the construction of several works in the community, but the months of construction went by and they did not comply.
Angry about this, the shareholders blocked the road almost at the end of the work, about 15 days after the movement; Personnel from the company Ingenieros Civiles y Asociados (ICA) that was in charge of the construction of section four of the railway approached the shareholders to convince them and offer them that the works would be done, which motivated the road to be opened and the work to continue, but in the end they did not comply.
A similar conflict was experienced in the towns of Sisbicchén and X-Can, Chemax communities, where they were also offered jobs, but no one complied, so no one compensated them for the land that was invaded and the matter remained unresolved even though the Tren Maya operates normally.
