According to information from Proceso , the Mexican government rejected allegations of irregularities in its “indigenous consultation” process on the Mayan Train. The government called it “disqualifications” and focused its criticism on the Office in Mexico of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN-DH). Since the start of the “consultation” process , several organizations exhibited the obvious non-compliance of the “indigenous consultation” with the guidelines of Convention 169 of the International Labor Organization (ILO), which obliges States to carry out consultation processes. free, prior, informed and culturally appropriate.” In a bulletin, the spokesperson for the Presidency of the Republic maintained that the allegations were made “prejudging future events related to the development project, contributing to a climate of uncertainty and lack of respect for the legitimate will that the communities have expressed.” natives".
