Chencho's Hunger Strike

A local shoe store owner has gone without food since Sunday in protest of the new pier under construction at the point where Constituyentes meets the beach. The pier is claimed to be for the private, commercial use of the mega-watersports operation Aquaworld from Cancun.

Chencho's base camp for the hunger strike is meters from where the work is in progress for the Aquaworld pier.

"Aquaworld's pier robs the Playa community of a public beach and Jardines Reef, which is protected by international accords."

"Government! Listen to the town which you serve."
