The Head of Government of Mexico City, Clara Brugada, has confirmed that so far there are 41 reports of needle pricks in the Metro and Metrobús of the capital. Investigations are led by Bertha Alcalde and are ongoing. In light of this situation, a security operation has been implemented to address the problem.
The National Action Party (PAN) has once again expressed its concern about insecurity in the public transportation system of the city. Federal deputy Daniel Chimal García highlighted that both men and women suffer assaults while traveling on public transport, pointing out the existence of a serious crime problem that needs to be prioritized.
On the other hand, some parliamentary groups have urged the government of Mexico City to seriously address the issue of needle pricks in the Metro. The need to set aside political considerations and tackle the issue responsibly is emphasized. Authorities are sought to apprehend those responsible for these criminal acts to ensure the safety of citizens.
Amid accusations and calls for action, Government Secretary César Cravioto has stated that so far there is no evidence or indications of an organized gang behind the needle pricks. The importance of avoiding the spread of false and alarming information on social media is highlighted, and there is a call to address the situation responsibly and carefully.
In this context, Deputy Brenda Ruiz has classified the political use of the issue by the opposition as "miserable," while the ruling party seeks mechanisms to inform citizens transparently about the situation. Authorities continue to work on the investigations to clarify the facts and ensure safety in the public transportation of Mexico City.
