Tulum, Quintana Roo — The National Plural Indigenous Assembly for Autonomy (ANIPA) has installed a new municipal committee in Tulum, marking the start of a renewal process across Quintana Roo’s 11 municipalities.
Hermelindo Be Cituk, the organization’s state representative, emphasized that in Tulum, the goal is clear: to work toward establishing a municipal Indigenous affairs office, a promise made by the late mayor Marciano Dzul Caamal.
Eva Elizabeth Ciau Pino was appointed as the committee’s president, with Federico Poot Pech serving as secretary of organization.
The assembly where the election took place was attended by Tulum council members and local legislators, including Silvia Dzul, president of the State Congress’s Indigenous Affairs Commission, and Euterpe Gutiérrez Valasis, president of the Tourism Commission and former municipal secretary general.
Be Cituk noted that ANIPA works for and with the Indigenous population. For the first time, committees will also be installed in Cozumel, Isla Mujeres, and Benito Juárez, while other municipalities will transition to new leadership.
He added that the renewal and installation of these committees will proceed gradually.
