Manteca

Months later, every federal department Manteca contacted said it had no information it could share about a train project in Imuris.

“They’ve kind of been ping ponging responsibilities back and forth, but we haven’t been able to get any real information,” said Manteca.

Manteca’s struggle is mirrored in Yucatan, where advocates have battled López Obrador over the Maya Train.

Mirna Manteca, a biologist with Wildlands Network, began researching when concerned locals approached her in March, but found there was very little to research.

“There’s no real information. There’s no official project,” said Manteca.
