Minatitlan, Veracruz, April 22 By: Sayda Chiñas Córdova
Minatitlan businessmen denounce that investments have fallen: the security situation and law enforcement is unsustainable and criminal groups of delinquency operate in freedom
The businessmen of the municipality of Minatitlán have denounced that several investments have been dropped due to insecurity problems facing the municipality and they fear that the repairs in the refinery, for the same situation.
In the same manner as the March for Peace, Minatitlán’s productive sectors convened to demand the clarification of the murders of 13 people inside a party hall, the businessmen pointed out that the situation regarding security and law enforcement is unsustainable and the Delinquency groups operate in freedom.
María Eugenia Ramírez Arana, one of the people who led the march, said she requested from the state and federal governments, greater security, after the violent events that occurred last weekend.
Alberto Sánchez López, president of the regional council of security and citizen participation, pointed out that the growth of delinquency has caused many families to leave the city and close their businesses.

He noted that business chambers have noticed that there are companies that want to establish themselves in the municipality, taking advantage of their geographical location, but all have stopped, since they are afraid of being extorted or kidnapped.
“They are losing big investments, strong companies want to invest but their representatives do not want to come to mine, they do not want to sleep here and if they do, they do not meet with anyone, they do everything in secret.
He explained that businessmen and professionals in the region have to suffer extortion and the payment of a flat, but these cases are not reported as they do not believe in the work of the institutions, particularly the Justice Prosecutor of Veracruz.
Erick Jacobo Santiago Ixba, secretary of the board of directors of Canaco, (National Chamber of Commerce, Services and Tourism (CANACO SERVYTUR Veracruz) noted that they have requested several times a meeting with the prosecutor, Jorge Winckler, but he has not given them a date and the meeting has been delayed due to claims that the State government has problems.
“He only comes when there are special events but we have not had meetings with him.”
He explained that in the region there are at least 2,000 files lagging behind, which have not been made by the prosecutors, that is why there is a lot of mistrust on the part of the citizens.
For his part, Jorge Alberto Hernandez Morales, president of the local Canaco, said that they have located 40 businesses that have closed for fear of being assaulted by the lack of payment of the apartment or robberies.
He explained that the other businesses have made modifications since the population only goes out to the street as necessary and only carry out activities in the morning.
“Citizens at a certain time do not go out, they make purchases in the morning, you can not live in a city with the conditions in which we are.”
The board leader indicated that they fear that some investments that are proposed for the refinery area will not materialize, as they fear for the integrity of their personnel.
Just a few days ago, at the meeting of the representatives of the Economic Development Secretariat with the businessmen of the region, they were informed that 30 percent of the restaurants in that municipality had to close and those that continue to operate reduced their expenses.
José Luis Almanza Katz, president of the Association of Restaurateur Businessmen, said that in addition to the recession that the municipality is experiencing, insecurity is another factor that is impacting them, but that in all the businesses we work with the minimum number of personnel and reduced the Atention time.
He said that citizens no longer go out to dinner or have coffee after five in the afternoon, for fear of being kidnapped or witnessing some bloody event.
He said that like other cities in Southeast Veracruz, the violence has put a huge dent in the nightlife and the outlook for restaurateurs and other businesses is very adverse.
