Therefore, any activity related to construction works, infrastructure, removal or destruction of the biodiversity of the land or any other action that resumes in the execution of the material of the megaproject is prohibited. The legal appeal that paralyzes the construction of the Mayan train was promoted by DMAS, on April 27. It recognizes the legitimate interest as an association dedicated to the defense of human rights to a healthy environment. The points claimed are the transgression of articles 14 and 16 of the Political Constitution of Mexico, which cite the fulfillment of due process, and article 4 of the Magna Carta, relating to the human right to a healthy environment. The first suspension obtained by the DMAS was derived from an amparo promoted on March 24 by three speleologists, which was resolved in April. Although they asked to stop the works of the complete Section 5, this only applies to Section 5 South that connects Playa del Carmen with Tulum.Read more: Four little brothers die in Oaxaca; it is believed that they were poisoned by the motherIn parallel, the First District Court also approved the legal appeal filed by a group of citizens to suspend the works of the aforementioned section, within the amparo 1003/2022.
