Three days after Margarita, 53, tragically died when a tree fell on the Kia she was traveling in during the heavy storm on June 28 at Calzada Zavaleta, Puebla\u2019s City Hall, led by Jos\u00e9 Chedraui Budib, has yet to reach out to her family and currently does not plan to provide any compensation.<\/p>\n
Margarita\u2019s death left three minors orphaned. Despite this, Jos\u00e9 Iv\u00e1n Herrera Villag\u00f3mez, Puebla\u2019s Secretary of Environment, acknowledged that the municipal department has had no contact with the family since the accident.<\/p>\n
Herrera Villag\u00f3mez explained that, based on a technical assessment, the tree that caused Margarita\u2019s death was not identified as a risk specimen, nor was there any report recommending its preventive removal. Therefore, with the information available, the city sees no grounds to offer compensation.<\/p>\n
He also noted that the tree showed no visible signs that would have required its removal from public spaces to protect pedestrians or drivers.<\/p>\n
The storm on June 28 also caused flooding at the intersection of Boulevard 5 de Mayo and 2 Poniente, leaving local merchants uncertain about recovery. Many reported lost merchandise, and some restaurants remain closed for cleanup efforts.<\/p>\n
So far, Puebla\u2019s Secretariat of Economy and Tourism has not announced any support programs for businesses affected by the storm\u2019s material losses.<\/p>\n
Besides the incident at Calzada Zavaleta, two other trees fell during the storm: one on the Puebla-Tlaxcala highway near the Fire Station, and another in San Mart\u00edn Texmelucan, where a house suffered significant damage.<\/p>\n
While the city\u2019s response to this tragedy and the storm\u2019s aftermath raises questions, it also highlights the importance of proactive urban planning and infrastructure investment\u2014areas where projects like Puebla\u2019s cable car system could offer safer, more resilient transportation alternatives for residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
