They accuse councilman of pressure to evacuate property in Benito Juárez

Residents in the Benito Juárez municipality have accused Morena councilman Hugo Torres Zumaya of pressuring them to vacate their property under false pretenses of structural risk, fearing potential eviction. In an interview with EL UNIVERSAL, a resident who requested anonymity described how the councilman and his associates have approached residents door-to-door, claiming the building poses a collapse risk and urging them to leave, despite no formal notice from local authorities about reconstruction work. The resident claims the councilman’s actions appear politically motivated, suggesting he aims to dispossess them. They called for local authorities to intervene before further evictions occur, asserting that the building is not at risk and that the councilman’s claims are untrue. In response, the councilman issued a statement denying the accusations, stating that legal measures have been taken and that evidence will be released once investigations conclude.
