The mayor of Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico, Mauricio Tabe, has launched a new initiative to combat illegal home seizures. A dedicated service module will now provide orientation and support to residents who have fallen victim to property dispossession or are at risk of losing their homes.
Tabe emphasized the need to firmly address dispossession, a crime he described as requiring robust action. He noted that while the capital's Attorney General's Office is responsible for investigating such cases, prosecuting offenders, and securing property, the new municipal module will offer crucial initial guidance.
Dispossession is a crime that must be combated with firmness.
Starting Monday, August 10th, the module will be available on the demarcational esplanade. It will operate daily from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, offering affected individuals information on the legal steps they can take and assistance with filing official reports. This measure aims to empower residents facing the threat of losing their homes through illegal means.
The module will be installed on the explanada of the demarcation, operating from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, where affected persons can receive guidance on the actions they can take and advice on how to report.
