Mexico City PAN backs mayor after street vendor operation attack

The National Action Party (PAN) in Mexico City has declared its full support for Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, following an attack she and her team endured during an operation against street vendors in the Zona Rosa.

Luisa Gutiérrez Ureña, president of the PAN in the capital, lamented that groups like PRO Diana continue to occupy public streets, allegedly with the backing of leaders who collect fees or a complicit government. "My solidarity goes out to the mayor of Cuauhtémoc for the cowardly attack she and her team suffered, once again for seeking to enforce the law," Gutiérrez Ureña stated.

The PAN official stressed that streets do not belong to anyone and that the Cuauhtémoc government's actions were aimed at clearing them for pedestrian transit and mobility in an area that has been occupied for years. She called on the Mexico City Prosecutor's Office (Fiscalía CDMX) to act objectively, ensuring that the violent incidents on Génova Street do not go unpunished.

PAN deputy for Cuauhtémoc, Frida Guillén, condemned the normalization of violence against women and expressed confidence that the mayor's complaint would proceed, leading to sanctions for those responsible. "Alessandra Rojo de la Vega seeks order in Cuauhtémoc and has worked tirelessly to guarantee it, in addition to being a mayor who also has the affection of thousands of residents," Guillén added. The PAN faction in the Mexico City Congress has pledged its full political support, vowing not to allow the ruling party to let the situation go unpunished.
