Mexico City PAN Denies Politicizing Dispossession Claims, Criticizes Official

Local and federal deputies from the National Action Party (PAN) in Mexico City have refuted claims that they are politicizing the issue of property dispossession. During a press conference, PAN CDMX spokesperson Federico Döring stated that Secretary of Government César Cravioto appears to be siding with those who dispossess property owners rather than the victims themselves.

Döring suggested that Cravioto's strong reactions to the PAN's recent conference and testimonies of dispossession indicate his discomfort with the information presented. "It seems clear that Cravioto is not on the side of the victims, but on the side of those who dispossess," Döring asserted, adding that Cravioto himself learned politics by occupying properties.

“

We are not going to answer the Government Secretary's insults with further disqualification; it seems clear that Cravioto has already made it clear that he is not on the side of the victims, but on the side of those who dispossess… He learned politics by invading properties; the government official most bothered by the conference we held on Monday is him, what a coincidence, the most angry, the most worried, the most dismayed by the information and testimonies of dispossession is him, that is a great coincidence.

The PAN deputies urged the Head of Government, Clara Brugada, to engage in a dialogue with their party to collaboratively seek solutions to the widespread problem of property dispossession. They believe that joint efforts can lead to effective resolutions. Döring also pointed to notary public records, which are shared with the Secretariat of Government, as a potential source of information leaks that could facilitate property invasions, particularly affecting elderly individuals.

Local deputy Federico Chávez echoed Döring's sentiment, emphasizing that the PAN is not politicizing the issue but responding to the concerns of residents in Benito Juárez who sought their representation. Deputy Daniela Álvarez announced that the party will introduce a series of initiatives to establish a specific protocol for combating property dispossession. The PAN also noted that if legislative initiatives remain stalled, victims are organizing to submit a citizen's initiative, which would compel the Congress to address the matter.

All of us can be part of the solution.
