Following this, the Head of Government, César Cravioto, was instructed to lead a negotiation table between the parties to reach an agreement that will allow for the economic activity of families and, at the same time, the free circulation of the streets involved. This comes after the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, was attacked along with her government team by street vendor organizations while conducting an operation to clear the streets adjacent to the San Cosme market last Friday. "The permits were not issued by this administration," she emphasized to reject the accusations that emerged from Cuauhtémoc towards the Zócalo in recent hours. Additionally, Cravioto rejected the accusations from the mayor's team against MORENA deputy Diana Sánchez Barrios, who leads important sectors of street vending in the demarcation. "The reordering of public space is a very delicate issue that must be done through a process of much dialogue with the people and the merchants," stated the former mayor of Iztapalapa, who described this challenge as "one of the most difficult jobs in the government of the City and the mayoralties." According to her explanation, on Friday the authorities of the demarcation had committed to holding a meeting with the involved organizations, but the Rojo de la Vega delegation did not attend, which exacerbated tempers and, hours later, led to scenes of violence. The PAN seeks to reform the Prosecutor's Office while Brugada highlights the safest January in 11 years. He also recounted that the permits granted to the various vendors to work in that area of the mayoralty were issued by former mayor Sandra Cuevas, who had reached an agreement with them while they were at the Glorieta de Insurgentes to move towards San Cosme. During the incident, the official claimed to have been assaulted, while the involved vendors denounced violent actions by the authorities. "We must make an effort to carry out peaceful processes," declared Brugada. Meanwhile, César Cravioto added controversy to the discussion that took place throughout the weekend, both from the ruling party against the mayor and from the opposition against the capital's government. "We condemn violence against public officials as against any other person." The Head of Government of CDMX, Clara Brugada, announced this Monday that her administration will seek to establish, in the coming days, a negotiation table with the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, and the merchant organizations of San Cosme. In this way, an attempt will be made to resolve the reorganization of this activity after the violent incidents that occurred last Friday night, when a police operation was resisted by merchant associations. The scenes on Sunday heightened tension in the capital ahead of the 2027 elections, when the 4T attempts to recover a demarcation that has been elusive for years and in which Rojo de la Vega will seek re-election. "One of the main leaders of commerce is Rubén Jiménez Barrios, the deputy's brother, who has two PRI council members in the mayor's office," detailed the secretary.
