- The PAN party in Mexico City claims the property seizure industry flourished during Claudia Sheinbaum's previous term and persists today.
- They offer virtual consultations via their website to assist victims of these seizures.
- PAN alleges that corrupt officials and police are exploiting legal mechanisms and intimidation tactics to dispossess citizens.
The National Action Party (PAN) in Mexico City is actively combating what it describes as an "industry of dispossession," asserting that this criminal enterprise thrived and solidified during the previous administration led by Claudia Sheinbaum. The party continues to offer virtual legal assistance to victims through its website, pancdmx.org.mx.
This crime of dispossession began with the police of the Chief of Chiefs linked to the corrupt public ministries of Oliver Pilares, close to Ernestina Godoy.
Federico Dรถring, spokesperson for PAN CDMX, directly linked the issue to corrupt elements within the prosecutor's office and police force. "This crime of dispossession began with the police of the Chief of Chiefs linked to the corrupt public ministries of Oliver Pilares, close to Ernestina Godoy," he stated. Dรถring further alleged that these "tentacles of corruption in the Prosecutor's Office" exploit legal tools like asset forfeiture and leverage police intimidation to seize property from residents.
The tentacles of corruption in the Prosecutor's Office continue to exploit the figure of asset forfeiture and police officers for dispossession and thus snatch their property from the capital's residents.
Priscila Vera, a member of the PAN's National Executive Committee, echoed these sentiments, attributing the crisis in Mexico City to the "omission and collusion of the city's authorities." She highlighted official statistics indicating 21 property seizures per 100,000 inhabitants, with the prosecutor's office handling approximately two thousand cases. Vera suggested that the actual number of unreported cases is likely much higher, as victims fear retaliation and distrust the authorities, especially when officials themselves are implicated.
The church is in the hands, not of Luther, but of the industry of dispossession. The authorities who protect the capital's residents are invaded by criminals of dispossession.
PAN contends that the current crisis is a direct consequence of the ruling Morena party's policies and alleged connections to "invading groups" and corrupt officials who facilitate organized crime networks. The party insists that authorities tasked with protecting citizens are compromised, leaving residents vulnerable not only to the loss of their property but also to physical harm.
This crisis is thanks to Morena, because they have the invading groups, they have the corrupt officials who weave these organized crime networks.
