Zih Perspective

1/31/2019

Interesting story. Congratulations to Jaui for his persistence. I don't know his citizenship status, (Mexican citizen? Permanent Resident? Temporary Resident?) but would guess he isn't here on a tourist visa, which likely would have denied him any legal recourse to file such a complaint.

As a victim of La Carpa's unbelievable noise several years ago, we chose to move away from Centro, rather than try to live with it. I was glad to see Jaui mention the sponsor of this outrage..."La Carpa Corona"....who should have been publicly shamed for lending their name to this zoo.

Jaui's apparent success in getting this event moved or cancelled raises the issue of the passivity of the thousands of locals adversely affected not only by La Carpa, but by all the other audio assaults that occur on a nightly basis in Zihua.

Where have these thousands of locals been hiding? If Jaui could accomplish this feat apparently single-handed, how does one explain thousands of locals sitting on their hands for years?

Hola Hole Mole:

I'll be most happy to reply here on the board to some of your inquiries...

I have Perm. Res. here, and I am from So Cal.

And, although the complete name is "La Carpa Corona" when referred to, the "Corona" part usually is left off.
You made a good point about that beer Co. attaching to that event.

Though since events with alcoholic activities here are so commonplace, no one bats an eye.
That beer company name is ubiquitous.
I think for most locals here it goes in one eye and exits the other.

The term you used " audio assaults " is a good to-the-point description.
I use that same term in these situations, e.g. when referring to the thumping & pounding intensity of the "pum pum pum" low-frequency sounds "that occur on a nightly basis in Zihua" as you mentioned.

The bottom line on that is that there are Environmental Norms related to la "contaminación auditíva" that are ignored.
IF those Norms, and many others, were applied and enforced as they should be, the environment would be much more peaceful.

As far as the issues you mentioned of passivity and trying to explain why the "thousands" of local Mexican population "sit on their hands" goes:
My opinion as to what accounts for that is what I would call "Viral" Impunity, Illegality & Corruption.

Evidence shows that people do not want to bother, make a fuss, etc., as most likely nothing will be done.
Just a plain waste of one's time.
At the January - February 2018 Carpa period, my Mexican lady neighbour went to see the then Jefe de la D.A.C.I.E.P. Lic. Cesar Verboonen who in effect told her to go to hell. I was told others had a similar experience.

Option 2 on my post about what to do when your Human &/or Civil rights are violated seems to be the path commonly taken.
