Mexico City's Government Secretary, César Cravioto, has reiterated his call for lawmakers and political parties to refrain from politicizing property dispossession cases within the capital. He urged them instead to direct these cases to the relevant authorities for proper handling and resolution.
Cravioto's statement comes after parliamentary groups from both Morena and the PAN have engaged with individuals reporting instances of dispossession, seeking support. "Morena invited us last week to receive the documentation of the cases they took on, in a park, something they did there in Benito Juárez, and we have already taken the cases and will follow up on them," Cravioto explained.

He added that while the PAN party has not yet approached his office with cases, his administration is ready to assist if they do. "In the case of Acción Nacional, they have not sought us out to pass on the cases they have received, but if they seek us out and channel them to us, we will gladly attend to them as well," he noted.
Cravioto emphasized that the issue transcends political divides, focusing instead on aiding victims of this crime. He requested that all relevant cases be submitted to the Cabinet of Dispossessions, the Prosecutor's Office, and the Legal Counsel's office for prompt attention.
