Sheinbaum Formalizes New Ejido in Guanajuato to End 80-Year Land Dispute

The plan's presentation signals execution on land restitution with funded community measures.

Overview

  • The federal government delivered the agrarian dossier and ejidatario registry creating the 569-hectare Ejido Nuevo Cruz del Palmar, closing a decades-long conflict between La Petaca and Cruz del Palmar in San Miguel de Allende.
  • Officials framed the action within the Plan de Justicia for Chichimeca and Otomí communities, citing a December 31 presidential decree expropriating 701 hectares to protect the Cañada de la Virgen and a 2026 rollout of 39 Indigenous Language Community Houses.
  • INPI director Adelfo Regino said new measures will reach 111 communities benefiting 119,000 families, with authorities reporting cumulative investments in the hundreds of millions of pesos and a pledge to keep annual FAIS/FAISPIAM resources flowing directly to communities.
  • The government outlined legal accompaniment for other agrarian cases in Cieneguilla–Tierra Blanca, Guanajuato, and Cerro de la Cebolleta, Querétaro, plus nature-tourism projects and 20 community forest and value-chain actions financed with 35 million pesos.
  • Community representatives presented a bastón de mando and pressed for autonomy, water protection, and remedies to imposed local authorities, while the government promised follow-up steps including an INAH-led catalog of sacred sites and actions to strengthen tenure and water access.
