Aguilar’s work came under fire when he joined the government’s National Institute of Indigenous Peoples at the beginning of López Obrador’s administration in 2018.

Aguilar was tasked with investigating the potential impacts of the train, hearing the concerns of local Indigenous communities and informing them of the consequences.That was when González Díaz met Aguilar, who arrived with a handful of government officials, who sat down for just a few hours with his small community in Xpujil, and provided sparse details about the negative parts of the project.
