The Front of Peoples in Defence of Land and Water Morelos, Puebla, Tlaxcala (FPDTA) is an organisation of indigenous Nahuatl communities in the states of Morelos, Puebla and Tlaxcala, that has been working since 2012 to defend their territory and to promote and exercise their self-determination as indigenous peoples in Mexico. On 10 June 2021, an operation with approximately 100 police officers and 60 vehicles from Puebla’s State Police forcefully limited the access of environmental and human rights defenders, activists and neighbours to the community of Santa María Zacatepec, Municipality of Juan C. Bonilla, Puebla. Members of various collectives including FPDTA attempted to demonstrate peacefully about the lack of support from the authorities regarding a potentially very dangerous sinkhole that has emerged in the community and against the exploitation of the region's aquifers, stating that this is one of the reasons why the sinkhole was caused at the end of May. The Front has been opposing the operations of a thermoelectric central, and has mentioned at a press conference that the sinkhole is due to industrial activities including the Huejotzingo industrial corridor, the Bonafont bottling plant, the Volkswagen automotive zone and the passage of the Morelos gas pipeline (Proyecto Integral Morelos).
