The Senator of the National Action Party (PAN), Xochitl Gálvez, requested the appearance of Rogelio Jiménez Pons, former Maya Train Manager, and his successor Javier May Rodríguez, to explain the change of route of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's (AMLO) flagship project.

At a press conference, Senator Panista indicated that, according to the National Fund for the Promotion of Tourism (Fonatur), the original line did not include the unnecessary cutting, removal and transplantation of more than 20,000 trees that were located on federal highway 307 Cancún-Tulum.

For this reason, he declared that Rogelio Jiménez Pons, who served as general director of Fonatur and responsible for the Maya Train project, must inform the Senate of the Republic, among other things, the reasons why it was decided to cut down more than 20,000 trees, without such actions being authorized.

In addition, the member of Acción Nacional requested that information be given on which natural or legal persons were hired to carry out the logging or removal and transplantation.

He also asked the current director of Fonatur and in charge of the work, Javier May, to provide the name of who was in charge of the decision to change the route of the project.

Also, the panista continued, the official has to indicate what was the technical basis for taking the decision; on what dates the modification was carried out, and which natural or legal persons were responsible for carrying out the technical work.
