LOPINOT/BON AIR WEST MP Marvin Gonzales says some of his constituents are being harassed. Gonzales, who is also PNM chairman and Opposition Chief Whip in the House of Representatives, claimed this harassment was connected to increased penalties for traffic and other motor vehicle offences.

In a Facebook post on January 8, Gonzales said he has received "numerous reports of harassment towards drivers in the community of Lopinot/La Pastora yesterday (January 7) , that resulted in widespread inconvenience to many constituents including young women, students, children, elderly citizens etc, who had to endure hours of waiting on transportation to get to their homes."

The situation, he continued, has caused great fear and anxiety in the community.
