      For Evelio Jiménez, the damage from the BP oil spill of 2010 isn’t theoretical. He’s one of the thousands of fishermen along the six Mexican Gulf Coast states who said in a lawsuit that the oil spill destroyed their way of life.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nathanieljanowitz/bp-mexico-deepwater-horizon-oil?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc …

      Jiménez and thousands of fishermen are suing BP, claiming the spill “severely impacted” their livelihood, but no publicly available studies back this up. Reports by scientific institutions that assessed the damage were initially classified by Mexico’s government.pic.twitter.com/LOV2GDSroC

      Nearly eight years after the spill, Mexico quietly accepted a payment of $25 million to clear BP of any responsibility for polluting its waters. Not a single peso has gone to an affected Mexican.https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nathanieljanowitz/bp-mexico-deepwater-horizon-oil?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc …

      In the weeks that followed the spill, Jiménez began smelling oil in the air, followed soon after by visible streaks in the water that he said reached the town’s coastline. He can list several fish species that he said were down in the region.pic.twitter.com/NQqnfznjz1

      Discovering if BP damaged Mexican waters involves looking at the government’s response, and what they may have found — and never released.

      A number of Mexican Gulf states independently filed separate lawsuits in 2011, but the federal government waited two years and 364 days to sue BP — the last day possible to do so.

      Even after taking action, it was relatively indecisive. Mexico’s government appears to have ignored evidence that could have been used to bolster its case against BP.

      The slow response was not the case in the US. The US government sprang into action after the explosion. A little over a month after, then-president Barack Obama had created an independent commission to investigate the causes of the oil spill.

      Within eight months, the commission determined that the explosion and spill were the consequences of a series of mistakes and omissions made by BP, and the companies it contracted.

      BP spent at least $60 billion in total related to the 2010 spill, more than $10 billion of which went to affected US fishermen and businesses.

      Back in Mexico, the government handed BP a lucrative contract that includes five oil-drilling sites, two natural gas pipeline contracts, and a plan to build 1,500 BP-branded gas stations.

          People like Jiménez can only watch as BP invests in Mexico. He spoke of his shock at seeing a gas station with a big BP sunflower sign, “calmly working, as if they hadn’t done anything here.”pic.twitter.com/cuBRU0gq8R

          Edel Jiménez, Evelio’s older brother, solemnly adds: “We’re forgotten by the rulers, the politicians, the presidents. We just exist now. We lived from fishing. But now that’s over.”https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nathanieljanowitz/bp-mexico-deepwater-horizon-oil?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc …
