The third district judge in administrative matters, Martín Adolfo Santos Pérez, ordered on Tuesday, December 20, 2016 the suspension of the selection process of architectural projects for the property occupied by the former El Rollo water park, located within the Third Section of the Forest of Chapultepec, which forces the capital authorities to leave said land untouched, until the amparo trial promoted by residents of the area against the work is concluded. Dennise Stevens, resident and representative of the Neighborhood Committee of the Lomas Virreyes neighborhood –next to the Bosque de Chapultepec–, reported at a press conference that his community decided to initiate this indirect protection trial, considering that the capital authorities violated various community human rights, when undertaking the process for the construction of a work, without discussing it with the inhabitants of the area.
The rights that they considered violated are the right to consult the communities affected by the work; the right to information (since citizens were not informed about the impact of this project); the right to a healthy environment; The right to health protection; and the right to ensure that the criterion of the best interests of children is Iceland Mobile Number List taken into account in all acts of government. After evaluating these arguments from the residents of Lomas Virreyes, Judge Martín Adolfo Santos determined that “given the possible impact on the right to a healthy environment,” it is “irrelevant” that the Environment Secretariat of Mexico City “has as purpose the development of a project for the benefit of the community” and, therefore, it is “necessary to paralyze the call.” As will be remembered, the government of Mexico City published a call on October 28, in which it invited all interested parties to present architectural projects of a cultural and recreational nature, from among which one would be chosen to be built in the land occupied by the now closed El Rollo water park, a measure against which the neighbors promoted the indirect amparo trial. Last Monday, one day before Judge Santos Pérez determined the suspension of this architectural project, while the trial concludes, various media outlets accused the neighborhood representative of Lomas Virreyes, Dennis Stevens, of leading “dark interests.” that “they are trying to stop the rescue of the Chapultepec Forest.
For this reason, the neighborhood representative clarified that no resident of Lomas Virreyes opposes the rescue of the Third Section of the Chapultepec Forest: “I want to be very clear –Stevens stressed–: we are not stopping the rescue of the forest, but rather we are putting a pause to a call that lacks transparency and citizen participation.” The neighborhood representative recalled that the legal vocation of the Third Section of the Chapultepec Forest is to be an “urban forest,” and despite this, the authorities decided to allocate the El Rollo property for the development of an architectural project, instead of environmentally restore that land and reintegrate it into the forested area. According to the capital authorities, the private entity that operates the architectural development promoted on this property would have the obligation to environmentally restore 90 hectares of the Third Section of the Chapultepec Forest.
