Benito Juárez mayor pledges support for property dispossession victims

Luis Mendoza, the mayor of Benito Juárez, has assured residents that the local government offers comprehensive support, including accompaniment, shelter, and backing, to those who fall victim to property dispossession. During a press conference, Mendoza emphasized his commitment to collaborating with relevant authorities to combat this issue, while also criticizing individuals who exploit the situation for political gain.

Mendoza highlighted that Benito Juárez is not the municipality experiencing the most significant number of dispossession cases. Citing data from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SNSP), he pointed out that Iztapalapa and Gustavo A. Madero have higher numbers of open investigation files for this crime. He reassured residents that they are not alone and will receive direct assistance and guidance from his office.

The mayor detailed the support system available: residents can call the Blindar BJ 360 hotline (800-0500-225) if they suspect an attempted dispossession, and a patrol car will respond immediately. Furthermore, the mayor's legal team will assist in integrating case files and providing counsel for potential litigation. Mendoza firmly stated, "We are not going to normalize the policy of dispossession."

He recalled a previous incident where a Blindar BJ unit detained one of two women suspected of illegally occupying an apartment on Matías Romero street, although she was later released. The mayor's office is actively working to ensure victims receive prompt and effective legal and police support to prevent and address property dispossession.
