Latinus exhibited the family’s business on Tuesday evening with Nicolas Mollinedo Bastar, former driver of Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), when he was Head of Government of Mexico City. They happen to be the owners of a land area of 645,000 square meters that is before what will be the Mayan train station in Tulum.
Isabella González’s report shows that the federal government built Tulum Train Station next to a tourist park owned by the Familia Mollinedo Portilla and run by “Nico’s” three children: Nicolás, Samuel, and Isaac René.
This land has a cenote, showers, palapas, a food area, bathrooms, and commercial space for snorkeling rentals. An entry fee of 500 pesos per visitor is charged. This park, which is already generating profits for the family as well as other companies registered under the same name, Preservación Ecológica Sac Actn SA de CV, occupies only a small part of the country’s 64 hectares.
Nicolás, the eldest son of López Obrador’s former driver, took over the country in October 2018. two months after the president announced the construction of the Mayan train.
“The owners of the company Sac Actún Ecological Preservation, which manages the park, are Lydia Esther Portilla Mánica, ex-wife of “Nico”, and her brother Jorge Alberto Portilla Mánica, current secretary general of the Tulum City Council,” quotes the journalist.
For his part, Samuel is the second son of Mollinedo Bastar, Councilor in the City Council of Benito Juárez (Cancun), where he is President of the Commission for Urban Development and Mobility in this municipality of Quintana Roo.
