1/ Here's a fairly comprehensive article (in Spanish) about the current state of the #ChichenItzaBlockade/#ChichenItzaBloqueo. There is one element of the story that if you know history of Yucatan/Mexico is somewhat cringe-inducing (more) poresto.net/yucatan/2023/1…
2/ Reps of INAH, the federal agency in charge of #ChichenItza, met with representatives of the ejido (common lands) of the village of X'calacoop--one of the groups involved in the protest. INAH said it met with them singly because each protest group has different objectives.
3/ According to Por Esto, INAH will pursue buying the ejido lands next to #ChichenItza, which will put money in the pockets of the villagers. The villagers agreed to drop their protest and the blockade, per Por Esto. This tactic is uncomfortably similar to the Spanish Conquest.
