- Abstract
This paper, based on ethnographic and documentary work, presents an overview of the political conflict that has arisen in Huexca, Morelos, Mexico, regarding the construction of a thermoelectric plant in the community, which has been going on for more than a decade of confrontation. Two fundamental issues will be analyzed: on the one hand, the difficult process of its imposing implementation and, on the other hand, the consequences of an authoritarian approach to the population. The failure to consult the local population generated internal dynamics that divided the population between those who sympathized with the project and those who did not, which has resulted in the impossibility of the plant's operation to date. This division is a perverse by-product of the implementation of large infrastructure projects, due to the lack of effective consultation to reaffirm and unify the populations in their acceptance or rejection.
