Muñoz García explained that they spoke with the engineer Alexis Cordero, who was director of Municipal Public Works in Mazatlan in 2015, but he assumed a prepotent and challenging attitude. Despite the attitude of the work manager, the settlers insisted that they will not let their guard down and seek out the governor of the state, Quirino Ordaz Coppel, to raise the case and ask him to order an investigation to find out who the architects of this offal are and ask him to stop the work. They recalled that in the place where the foundation of what would be new homes is built, it was a hill, which they leveled with machinery, which they paid with money from all the neighbors.
