The Baja California Prosecutor’s Office filed complaints about the invasion of the Zarahemla Ejido, in San Quintín, while ejidatarios reproached the authority for not acting against a crime in flagrante delicto.
Adrián LeBarón, from the Mormon community, explained that they used the church they have in the ejido as the office of the Northern State Prosecutor’s Office, since 25 agents arrived to receive the complaints.
“We are in our Sunday school in the Zarahemla congregation. About 25 ministerial agents and the Ensenada regional prosecutor arrived here, ”said LeBarón, one of the affected ejidatarios.
“I demanded from the Prosecutor’s Office and the municipal police that this day (yesterday), when we are raising the complaints and accusing the invaders, that they also enter the property that is being taken by those hordes and begin to raise their statement.”
According to the activist, more than 200 families filed a complaint with the State Prosecutor’s Office, since on January 1 they were taken from their homes by individuals armed with machetes and they also set fire to their homes.
LeBarón stressed that the invaders are in flagrante delicto, since they are a few meters from where they are presenting their complaints, so they do not need a court order to go and interview them.
Like the president of the commissariat of the Ejido de Zarahemla, Fernando Castro, the activist also accuses Carlos Hafen, former candidate of the PRD for the Municipal Presidency of Ensenada, of leading the invasion.
“Carlos Hafen is offering lots as long as people come down to invade land. The authority remains ignorant. A call to the rule of law. Any authority that can prevent violence? ”He wrote on his social networks.
Adrián LeBarón said that other people have always wanted to occupy the land, which had already generated a massacre in the 70s.
“This story has been written many times,” he said.
The ejidatarios remained in the vicinity of where they were evicted, in the expectation that the authority could deploy an operation or, otherwise, they themselves would recover the land.
“I assure you that there is complicity (with the authorities), but right now I do believe him and I saw the Regional Prosecutor very genuine,” he commented in a telephone interview.
“What is going to spill the water from the glass is going to be that they do not enter to take the declarations of the invaders and do not dare with all the force that came.”
On January 1, at least 200 people arrived at the ejido carrying jugs of fuel, cut several fences and set fire to wooden houses, where producers of green beans, onions, strawberries, tomatoes, grains and other products live.
They also threw stones at the producers to clear the land, causing a young man to be injured.
The Commissariat of the Ejido assured that Hafen paid 500 pesos to some 200 Trquis in Oaxaca to orchestrate the invasion.
