In October 2005, Hurricane Stan provoked the flooding of the River Coatán in Tapachula, in the Chiapas (Mexico). The material damage and human losses were incalculable. A natural catastrophe, certainly, but one wonders about the authorities’s share of responsibility regarding human losses. Two months after, the disaster victims, housed in plastic tents, were still uncertain of their future. The Chiapas government launched a reconstruction program. But between the lack of communications and the lack of organization, the absence of census records, the power games, etc., the irregularities were blatant. Romeo Lester Escobar, an unusual victim, acted as representative for all those excluded from the program and organized a struggle for the respect of these people’s rights.
