Leaders of the village of Cuahutémoc Cárdenas, Palenque Municipality, have cut off water and electricity and restricted the access of a group of 42 Protestants to their farmland. The former village commissioner, Leonarda Damas Cruz, justified this action by referring to an old legal agreement which stipulates that inhabitants of Cuahutémoc Cárdenas must be members of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and Roman Catholics.
