A
principles of In the past 1990s, the then governor of Jalisco, Guillermo Cosío Vidaurri, who still breathed the revolutionary nationalism that once gave Mexico such a boost, ordered the creation of two commissions that would study the confusion that pointed to a dispute over the limits of said entity. with Nayarit and Colima, and it fell to this servant of yours to be part of both. The reason was that 15 years ago he had published a modest book in the INAH entitled History of the territorial divisions of Jalisco, and at least he could prove records that would help the corresponding authorities to issue a fair trial.
But it was the case that apparently the authorities of the case did not exist: the Supreme Court referred the issue to the Senate and the latter paid with the same coin and returned the issue to the Supreme Court… In the meantime, Governor Cosío was forced to resign due to work and grace of the antipathy that awakened in Salinas de Gortari the federalist vocation of the governor and having, at least in Jalisco, much more sympathy than the President.
It is fair to recall that the historical assertions were fully supported by careful studies by geographers from the University of Guadalajara, anthropologists from INAH and old connoisseurs of the terrain that they even kept in their memory when, in the early 1940s, the delegate from Camotlán was visited by rural
of Nayarit, who removed the seal that accredited its belonging to the municipality of Bolaños, Jalisco, and gave it another that ascribed it to La Yesca, Nayarit.
The man did not stop writing to Governor Marcelino García Barragán denouncing the robbery, but there was no reaction. To be honest, we don’t know if the letter arrived… but the result is that there was no reaction to the fact, despite the fact that the governors of both had supposedly previously declared that they would settle the differences.
When Cosío fell in 1992, the theme was also dropped into oblivion, since, to begin with, the successor perceived that the theme he was not political
and it was hidden… Many people told us that the discussion was unimportant, because ground There was a lot
…
It is worth mentioning that, years later, there was a timid attempt by the PAN governments, which did not get anywhere either. The fact is that the lands that were bravely transferred to Nayarit are still there.
Thirty years later, a brave contingent of Wixárika residents from the outskirts of San Andrés Cohamiata and San Sebastián Teponahuaxtlán have walked the almost 900 kilometers that separate them from Mexico City to draw attention to their problem, which is based precisely on the appropriation Nayarit’s illegal use of land that had legally belonged to the state of Jalisco until the end of the 1930s.
What is the reason for the damage? That in those latitudes what is in Jalisco is communal land and what is in Nayarit is private property. In other words, it is true that the land taken from Jalisco has little effect on it, but it deprives the indigenous people of those lands on the banks of the Bolaños River of what is theirs.
The elements that prove what was said are available… They have even been published in several books authored by the undersigned, but the authorities in Jalisco since the end of the last millennium have made ant eye
.
Finally, some authority has taken them into account: I am grateful to López Obrador, with the desire to do it more when I manage to return to the starting point prior to the robbery.
