Congresswoman to sue Cuauhtémoc mayor over alleged merchant aggression

Local congresswoman Diana Sánchez Barrios announced she will file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office against Cuauhtémoc mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega. The complaint stems from alleged aggressions against informal merchants during an operation in Zona Rosa. Sánchez Barrios stated that the incident resulted in numerous injuries among merchants, including women, and urged the mayor to engage in dialogue rather than resorting to violence.

"The complaints are already on their way, as are the complaints to COPRED and human rights," Sánchez Barrios said. "People are working and there were many injured, merchants, women, and ladies who were beaten. From this space, I tell the mayor of Cuauhtémoc to reopen dialogue, to work with dialogue, not with violence."

Sánchez Barrios accused Rojo de la Vega of acting violently for the second time against merchants, destroying their goods and preventing them from working. She specifically mentioned PRODIANA AC, a group she claims supported the mayor's election, alleging that Rojo de la Vega now targets them.

"She no longer has any argument, she likes to get attention in different ways," Sánchez Barrios added. "The 70 million pesos given to her to fix potholes are not noticeable in the Cuauhtémoc delegation; public markets are abandoned, but she hits those who accompanied her, because those PRODIANA merchants, I want to say it loud and clear, were the ones who helped her reach the mayor's office."

However, PRI congresswoman Tania Larios defended Rojo de la Vega, calling the aggression regrettable. Larios requested that the Mexico City government investigate the events involving PRODIANA, identify the material perpetrators, and determine the intellectual author behind the incident to ensure tranquility in Zona Rosa.
