“Federal Government Grants Chunyaxché Ejido 5,000+ Hectares! Incredible Land Transfer Deal Unveiled”

The Federal Government has transferred over five thousand hectares of land to the Chunyaxché ejido and its associated areas in this municipality. This move comes after local farmers staged road blockades to apply pressure. The land transfer to Chunyaxché ejido and its annexes is part of an agreement made with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. The deal involved selling land at 120 pesos per square meter for the Tulum airport in exchange for the opening of streets and the addition of 5,400 hectares that were traditionally considered to belong to the ejido, but were technically national lands.

The Chunyaxché ejido and its associated areas consist of 605 ejidatarios (landowners) spread across 7 roads. According to Jacinto Canul Pacheco, the ejidal commissioner of the agrarian nucleus, a meeting was held with military commands, representatives of Fonatur, Conap and Sedatu, and ejido members to celebrate the land transfer agreement.

It's worth noting that a year ago, the ejido donated 1,500 hectares for the construction of the Tulum airport. Just three weeks ago, the 605 Mayan ejidatarios pressured the federal government to uphold their agreements by blocking federal highway 307 near the airport, which connects the north of Quintana Roo with the rest of the country.

The newly transferred land, totaling over 5,000 hectares, will officially be named the "Chunyaxché Flora and Fauna Protection Area". There are still some technical details to be finalized, such as land measurements, which are scheduled for May 11 at 10 a.m. Canul Pacheco stated that there will be another assembly to finalize the agreements and modify the ejidal regulation for the annexation of these new lands. In a few months, the title of ownership for the 5,400 hectares will be transferred to the ejido.
