Sheinbaum Formalizes New Ejido in Guanajuato, Ending 80-Year Land Dispute

The plan couples land restitution with sustained federal financing to address long‑standing demands across Guanajuato and Querétaro.

Overview

  • At a public assembly in Cruz del Palmar, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered agrarian documents creating the Ejido Nuevo Cruz del Palmar, granting 569 hectares and resolving an 80‑plus‑year conflict between La Petaca and Cruz del Palmar.
  • Officials reported about 793.8 million pesos invested under the Plan de Justicia, benefiting roughly 119,000 people across 111 Chichimeca and Otomí communities.
  • Territorial and program actions include a 701‑hectare expropriation to conserve the Cañada de la Virgen monument zone, electrification and water works, school improvements, language houses, and an IMSS‑Bienestar midwifery center.
  • Sheinbaum pledged continued annual direct resources through FAIS/FAISPIAM for Indigenous and Afro‑Mexican communities.
  • Community representatives welcomed the visit yet pressed for autonomy guarantees, water security, and protection of sacred sites, as Sheinbaum reiterated calls for formal apologies for historical abuses.
