The head of Government, Martí Batres, attacked the recent resolution of the Electoral Institute of Mexico City (IECM) in relation to the real estate corruption in the Benito Juárez Mayor’s Officecalling it an attack on freedom of expression and a setback to critical thinking in the country.
Batres expressed his discontent with what he considers an “obscurantist” and “medieval” stance on the part of the IECM, arguing that this measure seeks to censor dissident opinions.
Likewise, he pointed out the lack of impartiality in the electoral body, insinuating that the majority of the councilors are linked to certain political forces.
The capital’s president also emphasized the reality of real estate corruption, highlighting the recent incorporation of this activity as a crime in the Penal Code of Mexico City.
He emphasized that the local Attorney General’s Office will continue with the relevant investigations, regardless of the administrative decisions of the IECM.
Regarding sanctions for real estate corruption, Batres mentioned that the Judiciary of Mexico City also intervenes in the process.
The licensed senator highlighted that four officials have been sentenced and have handed over properties as part of the reparation for the damage, but he also mentioned that there are others involved who are being investigated or evading justice.
Given this situation, Batres urged citizens to exercise their right to report any act of corruption to the competent authorities, reaffirming their commitment to transparency and the fight against corruption in Mexico City.
