Celebrarán primer matrimonio igualitario en Zipolite

Zipolite se posiciona como el destino preferido para la celebración de bodas entre personas del mismo sexo.

ZIPOLITE, Pochutla, Oaxaca.- Reconocido mundialmente como un paraíso nudista, fiel a la tolerancia y espíritu libertario que lo caracteriza, ahora Zipolite, la Playa Nudista de México, será el escenario del primer matrimonio igualitario legal, luego de una enmienda legislativa al Código Civil de Oaxaca.

Con una presencia importante de la comunidad LGBT (lésbico, gay, bisexual, transgénero), que al igual que otros segmentos turísticos generan una importante derrama económica en el lugar, Zipolite se potencializa como un sitio idóneo para la realización de bodas igualitarias, en concordancia con la legalización de este tipo de uniones, promovida desde el Congreso estatal.

Ante tal coyuntura, y a la par de las acciones de promoción turística que emprenden el gobierno municipal de San Pedro Pochutla y el gobierno del estado de Oaxaca a través de la Secretaría de Turismo (Sectur), en los próximos días se celebrará, con todos los gastos pagados, la primera boda igualitaria, hecho que sienta un precedente en términos turísticos y por lo que implica en la consecución de derechos de la comunidad LGBT en Oaxaca.

Para dar realce al evento, integrantes de la Comisión de Turismo municipal lanzaron un concurso a través de las redes sociales por el que un reconocido chef y organizador de eventos regaló dos bodas con los gastos de banquete y montaje incluidos, a dos parejas de la zona, una de las cuales será entre una pareja gay.

“Hubo una afortunada coincidencia entre la Comisión de Turismo y el chef Alejandro Cedillo para organizar un concurso a través de las redes sociales, y una de las dos parejas ganadoras será protagonista de la primera boda igualitaria legal en Zipolite, un lugar lleno de belleza, pero también emblema de libertad y tolerancia”, afirmó Saymi Pineda Velasco, alcaldesa de San Pedro Pochutla.

Por su parte, Alejandro Cedillo, empresario organizador de bodas huatulqueño, destacó que la boda obsequiada a las parejas ganadoras incluye banquete, decoración, montaje, locación, música en vivo, DJ, arreglos florales naturales; todo lo que se puede considerar una boda de ensueño.

El evento se convierte en un parteaguas en la Costa, pues si bien, desde el año 2014 se promovió la realización de bodas entre contrayentes del mismo sexo, ofreciendo todas las facilidades y permisos, es hasta este año cuando se concretó la legalización de estos enlaces, por lo que solo se espera que la enmienda se publique en el Diario Oficial del estado de Oaxaca para que la primera boda igualitaria tenga lugar en Zipolite, la playa nudista de México.

Misplaced comma gives shoppers a bargain price on TVs

Consumer protection agency sides with shoppers in argument with Walmart

A misplaced comma on a promotional sign at a Mexico City Walmart gave shoppers a better deal than they expected on flat screen TVs this week.

The store in the borough of Azcapotzalco priced the televisions at 24,988 pesos (US $1,300), but seven lucky customers paid only 2,498 pesos (US $130) because the comma was in the wrong place.

The error was noticed by several customers who attempted to take advantage of the situation but the store refused to honor the advertised price. So the customers called the federal Consumer Protection Agency Profeco.

The shoppers provided photographic evidence of the error, and after several hours of negotiations between Profeco agents and store employees, seven customers were allowed to pay the misquoted price for the TVs.

Wrongly placed commas are not infrequent on store displays and are generally costly to the stores. Profeco usually insists they honor the advertised price, no matter how big the discount.

Profeco director Ricardo Sheffield Padilla confirmed the outcome of the negotiations and said it was the department’s first intervention in the annual shopping event called Buen Fin (Good Weekend), taking place November 15-18.

For the first time since the beginning of Buen Fin in 2011, Walmart decided not to participate this year, opting to launch its own event, El Fin Irresistible (The Irresistible Weekend), a day earlier than other stores.

Profeco has mobilized 1,300 staff, installed 147 modules and deployed 323 mobile brigades in preparation for dealing with consumer complaints during the high-volume shopping weekend.

Expat 101: moving to Mexico is best done with some preparation

A 13-year expat recalls it was a bumpy ride to begin with

By Janet Blaser

When I moved to Mexico 13 years ago, I felt like I was well prepared. I’d done what I thought was a lot of research, talked to many people and immersed myself obsessively with expat groups online.

Yet it was still a bumpy (though often amusing) ride until I really felt comfortable in my new home.

I do believe that ultimately there’s a lot to be said for just following your heart, trusting that all the material concerns will somehow or other fall into place (which they usually do).

With that in mind, here are some suggestions that just might make the transition easier.

• Visit more than once, in different seasons, for at least a month. That beautiful Mexican beach town may become your own personal spa-that-never-ends in August and September; those cool mountain breezes might warrant space heaters and wool sweaters in January.

Get to know a place before you settle down.

Don’t rely completely on what other people or publications say, no matter how reputable it seems; only your experience can tell you exactly what you personally need to know.

• Explore the options. Once you’ve decided on a “where,” try to explore different neighborhoods and types of housing. You may be used to a sprawling ranch-style house but discover you love being 12 floors up in an oceanfront condo. Maybe you’ll like living in the middle of a city, with cafés, shops and theaters within walking distance, or prefer the noisy, culturally immersive experience of a small Mexican neighborhood.

That colonial house looks amazing, but the maintenance might just be too much to deal with. What you think you want may be very different than what you discover in this new phase of your life.

• Healthcare. For most of us, this is a biggie. You’ll want to investigate thoroughly what medical service infrastructures exist in the town or area where you’re going. What kind and how many doctors, labs and dentists are there? Do they speak English, take insurance, work with which local hospital(s)?

Is there ambulance service, and how exactly does each company work? Try to take the time to visit hospitals or clinics, doctors and dentists, and check out prices and available services. In this case, asking on local forums and reading any local English publications can be really helpful to finding the answers to these important concerns. 

• Do some shopping. It seems like every day more “things” are available through Amazon.com (both the U.S.-based site and the Mexican one), and I’ve found delivery to be dependable, quick and reliable. This is really a game-changer.

Explore the options once you’ve decided where to settle.

That said, not everything you’re used to, want or need is going to be available, either through Amazon or in local stores. You want to be able to be comfortable and not dependent on too many things from north of the border. So, do your research: can you find the shampoo, laundry soap and medicines you regularly use?

What about things like lamps, cotton sheets and towels, appliances and tools? Walk through the grocery stores and see what’s available. And don’t assume a big-box store in Mexico (think Costco, Home Depot, Walmart) has the same items it does in the U.S.A. or Canada.

• Check out the expat community. One of the most difficult lessons I’ve learned living in Mexico is that just because expats speak the same language doesn’t mean we’re going to relate to each other or even get along. Another is that while my idea was to learn to speak Spanish fluently and make lots of local friends, that hasn’t happened.

Whatever your situation, chances are the expat community is going to play a big part in your new life in Mexico, so take some time to study it, online and in-person. (This may mean many hours of pleasant people-watching somewhere, but hey!)

Things to consider: how many expats live there, full- and part-time? Who are they and where are they from? What age bracket? Are the expat events and activities things you’re interested in? What parts of town do they live in – and why?

• Figure out a phone plan. Staying in touch with your loved ones and friends becomes even more important when you’re in a totally new culture. Yes, there are services like Skype, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger – when and if you have internet. Consider if it’s important to be able to give a familiar-looking number to your aging parents, business associates, the social security office, your bank or accountant, etc. And of course, whichever way you go, always read the fine print carefully.

Get your papers in order.

• Get your personal papers in order. When you’re a foreigner, birth, marriage and divorce certificates are required for many, many things. Update or renew your passport and driver’s licenses, then make copies to keep in a safe place, and also to leave with a relative or trusted friend in your home country.

Tell banks or financial institutions and credit card companies you’ll be out of the country indefinitely. Bringing a pet? Find out what they’ll need to cross the border and any useful vaccinations for the area you’re moving to.

• Learn the language. Even the basics, like pronunciation of the alphabet, will help you settle into your new community. If you can, take some classes before you move, or find a TV show with subtitles and watch it regularly to familiarize your ear to what it sounds like.

Do consider taking classes or going to a weekly “conversation club” once you’ve arrived in Mexico. Many people enjoy (and learn!) with online classes – some of which are free, like Duolingo.

• Money matters. Figure out how and where you’ll do your banking. Some banks charge hefty international fees; others refund fees or don’t charge at all. If you’re retired, you may be able to take care of your banking needs online and with your ATM card. Thinking of opening a bank account in Mexico? Find out if that’s even possible – or necessary — and what the requirements are.

• Keep some sentimental items. When you’re thousands of miles away, these sort of things take on special meaning. That scarf your mother gave you, Junior’s refrigerator magnet from second grade, those handmade Mother’s Day cards from your kids – put ’em all in a box and take ’em with you. Allow yourself this small luxury — you’ll be happy you did.

Protesting Federal 

Police clash with 

Mexico City cops 

at airport

60 officers from both forces 

were injured in the confrontation

Published on Wednesday, November 

13, 2019

Federal Police officers who continue 

to protest against having to join the 

new National Guard clashed on 

Tuesday with Mexico City police 

outside the Mexico City airport.

About 60 police, including 32 on the 

city force, were injured in a violent 

confrontation on the Circuito Interior 

freeway outside Terminal 1.

Mexico City Police Chief Omar 

García Harfuch said that seven 

officers were taken to hospital but 

none was in serious condition. He 

accused federal officers of throwing 

2 tear gas grenades at Mexico City 

police and said that another 22 gas 

grenades were seized.

About 1,200 Federal Police officers 

began blocking Circuito Interior 

shortly after 10:00am to demand 

compensation from the government 

because they don’t want to join the 

National Guard when the force is 

disbanded.

About 400 city police tried to dismantle 

the blockade, triggering a violent 

response. Officers from both forces 

were briefly detained by their opposite 

numbers.

Federal Police said that some of the 

officers they detained were armed, a 

claim that was denied by Mexico City 

authorities.

After the initial clash, an additional 

300 Mexico City police arrived at the 

scene along with Harfuch, who initiated 

talks with protest leaders. But the talks 

quickly broke down and the Federal 

Police refused to lift their blockade.

The violence restarted within minutes, 

the newspaper El Universal reported. Mexico 

City police responded to the throwing 

of tear gas grenades by launching the 

same at their federal counterparts. 

Reporters and civilians were also 

affected by the gas.

Police maintained their blockade for 

more than six hours, causing traffic 

haos outside the airport. Some people 

missed their flights, El Financiero reported, 

while others were escorted to the airport 

by police so they could arrive on time.

The federal Security Secretariat of 

Security (SSPC), which has responsibility 

for the Federal Police, condemned the 

blockade and violence.

Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum said the 

operation to break up the blockade 

was a success although she conceded 

that police protocols for responding to 

protests could be improved.

President López Obrador weighed in 

n the clash this morning, suggesting 

that it was no coincidence that police 

staged their protest outside the airport 

on the day that former Bolivian president 

Evo Morales arrived to take up an offer of political 

asylum.

“There continues to be a lot of 

provocation. It’s not possible, it’s 

not a coincidence that Evo arrives 

and at the same time they’ve organized 

a protest. It’s not spontaneous, there is 

someone that is rocking the cradle,” 

he said.

“. . . I’ve given instructions for there to 

be dialogue, for [officers] that don’t 

want to go into the National Guard to 

be paid off. We’re not dismissing anyone 

but we can’t have officers [in the National 

Guard] without a good track record. 

We have to have honest, professional 

people who are not linked to illegal 

acts,” López Obrador added.

Federal Police have staged several 

protests against their transfer including 

one in September that blocked the Circuito 

Interior outside the airport for almost 

nine hours.
