c/c from Mexfish
Note the year of this story. It may be will pass
August 2004, Mulege, B.C.S.
TO OUR FRIENDS AND PATRONS:
Due to the diverse information that has been published and broadcasted by the media in the State of Baja California Sur with regard to the lawsuit
filed by the Ejido Mulege 20 de Noviembre (Ejido: Common land given by the government to a group of persons to farm and use) against myself, Nancy
Ugalde Gorosave de Johnson and my husband Donald Johnson, wherein we have been ordered and sentenced by the 39th Unitary Agrarian District Court with
residence in the city of La Paz, B.C.S., to vacate and deliver the facility wherein the Hotel Serenidad is established, in the county of Mulege, Baja
California Sur, we consider we owe an explanation pertaining this matter to all sectors and members of the Baja California Sur community as well as to
our friends and clients across Mexico and the United States and the companies, groups and individuals that for nearly forty years have been patrons of
the Hotel Serenidad, we are committed to providing clear and precise information regarding the problem we are currently facing as a family and as a
business.
We have dedicated our lives to create and promote tourism through a company we have proudly established and operated not only to the benefit of the
County of Mulege but also for that of the State of Baja California.
Our problems began in 1982 when we were offered for sale the land and facilities where the Hotel Serenidad is established, through a program
implemented in the County of Mulege by CORETT, (commission for regularization of ownership for the land) in good faith and without misleading anyone,
we were informed that said facilities had been used many years before for tourist purposes, and that they had been expropriated from the Ejido Mulege
by the Federal Government, we trustfully agreed to enter into said transaction, we invested our resources and dedicated our time and energy to develop
this tourist attraction, widely known not only locally but nationally and internationally.
From the time we purchased from CORETT we operated the hotel, and 1996 they invaded us and found out we had a registered title and they started a
demand in year 2000 to annul our title at the unitary agrarian court with resident in La Paz. Then we found out that the ejido Ejido Mulege had been
granted an amparo against the 1976 expropriation decree in virtue that the area expropriated and delivered to CORETT was not the correct one in
accordance with said expropriation decree. We were never duly notified of the referred amparo proceeding until the year 2000, in which through said
lawsuit an amparo was granted in favor of the Ejido, a relocation of the expropriated land was made to another land area owned by the Ejido, in virtue
of these proceedings undertaken without our knowledge, as third acquiring parties, we have been instructed to deliver the hotel facilities to the
Ejido.
We consider the lawsuit and the sentence issued against us by the Agrarian Courts not only to be unjust but illegal, we find it extremely odd that a
federal entity such as CORETT has sided with the Ejido to support them in a petition related to an action in which they in fact duly offered and
formalized the sale of the facilities in question to the Johnson family.
This is a grave matter for it not only damages our patrimony, but also our reputation and the high respect we have earned as a family and a company in
the State of Baja California Sur, always serving and supporting the national and foreign tourism; we are also astounded by the fact that the Ejido
initiated a legal procedure to relocate the expropriated lands and the location of the property sold to us as acquiring parties of the Hotel
Serenidad, without us ever being notified by CORETT nor by the Agrarian Ministry or the Federal Judicial Authorities that illegally granted an amparo
on behalf of the Ejido. We find unjust the entire procedure through which we are being ordered to vacate and abandon the legally acquired patrimony.
The decree issued in August 1976 has been executed first in November 1976, later in October 1982 and finally in November 1996, in neither of these
last two executions, has it been stated the first one was annulled and served no further legal effects, we have never understood why if the Hotel
Serenidad was included in the first decree the agrarian authorities supported by CORETT and the Agrarian Ministry, deny and do not recognize the
purchase contract through which we acquired our patrimony, without ever annulling the first execution that proves CORETT was in fact the owner of the
property we legally acquired. As buyers and investors, we have been economically and morally injured by the referred government entity, our patrimony,
security and investment confidence has been severely damaged and we have been victims of the acts committed by said entity and by the Ejido, who have
made us out to be the ones victimizing them.
We will continue to fight until justice is made, we disagree with all the procedures and are sure we will be heard and protected by the judicial
authorities, without any consideration to the interest of those who intend to make of a duly established company, a mockery of unscrupulous
politicians and leaders that are altering the truth of these facts and are taking advantage of the patrimony created with the work and effort of our
family.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Nancy Ugalde Gorosave de Johnson
Mr. Donald Johnson
