Sinaloa.- A group of forty families have invaded a lot along Manuel J. Clouthier Boulevard, in the Progreso colony, which is an area considered high risk because it is on a bend where road accidents with fatal outcomes have already occurred. On a tour of the sector we observed at least twenty houses of cardboard, sheet and wood, which were built by the invaders to “separate” the place they took. Half of these houses are a few inches from the boulevard, flush with the sidewalk.
According to some people who met at the site, they have about two years who invaded this property, and they hope that the City Council of Culiacan will sell them to regularize their situation, but to date this has not happened. Invasions
In the last decade, several lands in this sector have been invaded by different families, some of them with economic needs and no dwellings to live in. These properties have been evicted with the use of public force, as the owners recovered their properties that have been hoarded.
These people live in a high-risk area because thousands of cars circulate daily along this road, which serves as a path to various fractions. Land
According to the interviewees, they are willing to negotiate by legal means, but ask the municipal authorities not to evict them from the place and give them the opportunity to buy, but not to leave them without a roof to live on. The invaders pointed out that they have already sold a share to people who placed a pole with a spectacular advertising ad, which is why they hope to have the same opportunity and who don’t want to evict them because it was a green area, as they had started when they illegally seized the land and started living there.
Jesus Moreno, one of the locals, commented: “The last thing the City Council authorities have come to us is that the land would be sold to us, but so far they have not come; we think it’s because of coronavirus, and if so, it’s better this way, to avoid disease as well.” Uneasiness
People who invaded this land live in conditions of high marginalization because all the houses are cardboard, sheet and wood, and they risk a road accident in this area, where thousands of vehicles transit every day.
