City and Region's 11 pm and people return to their homes with jackets, coats and a few blankets to keep out the cold night in downtown Zimapán. The so-called permanent alert has spread to all corners of the river and both parents, women and the elderly guard near the municipality.
The night shifts are routine and civilian in the town and even many people have not slept in several days to watch for the possible arrival of trucks carrying toxic waste.
They, those who say we are part of the All Zimapán (TZM) and United for AC Zimapán have mounted a virtual office in the central kiosk, in a table are some supplies such as water, coffee pot and rice pudding together with information material such as notes of local and national newspapers, magazines and advertising policy analysis organization.
There are no limits of space, all people want to wait for the night outdoors is welcome and more at the current social conditions following the ultimatum from the Interior Ministry for the commissioning of the plant Befesa SDS.
Phones, radios and even short range rockets are the technology that has to call or give notice to any incident, after midnight loading trucks with dirt crossed the road to Zimapán, the calls were not wait and mobilization which began operating public safety surveillance.
particular in vans and cars, some working, some older models, the population starts to give the main Rondin alternative forms of local header, this is where the real movement operates.
Stationed outside seals Zimapán citizens are formed by one or two cars with two to five people willing to report the passage of any heavy vehicle and even block access if the situation requires. On the road
Military College name, there are at least two checkpoints to reach the Royal Spa hotel you are staying and where the Federal Police have set up their headquarters.
the opposite side of the access road known as San Pedro, lies another catch more, and one that monitors the roads to communities where accessed through the streets of Tehran and Centenario Jorge Preisser.
"People here have had enough of us want to see the face, they said it was a garbage dump and it was not true, the population is fierce in Zimapán and in the villages do not even want to mayors in stoned campaigns who were going to let political propaganda, "says one of the civilians, while the truck led to" comb "the area.
Back to the kiosk, the routine is repeated again and again throughout the morning while the mist descends on the plains of Zimapán to the municipal and the temperature is coldest ever and in the darkness of the roads, only perceived noise of insects and animals such as skunks, rabbits and dogs that wander through the bushes and cacti.
Before you leave the first sunbeam, the city seal is released at 6 am, as many must go to work or just home.
Now with the daily grind of any population, the activity begins Zimapán past 7 in the morning and back to the course, but on foot, we see a different picture, the holes in the ground to prevent the passage of trucks are seen in all its magnitude, nearly two feet deep and at least five feet long, a space where only compact car can circulate, appropriately risk, as in life itself has become Zimapán.
