In turn, the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Alessandra Rojo de la Vega, confirmed this Tuesday that her administration suspended the building where the collapse that killed three people in the Colonia Tránsito neighborhood occurred. According to her, 'it is the responsibility of the mayor's office to verify that the necessary measures are adopted, guarantee the safety conditions for people and avoid risks to the public road, such as supervising that demolitions are carried out with the appropriate procedures and protections to prevent damage to third parties.' 'There can be no impunity,' she stated. Brugada confirmed one dead and two missing due to the collapse in San Antonio Abad. Housing Secretary Inti Muñoz detailed that the building that collapsed this Monday while demolition work was being carried out inside suffered structural damage in the 2017 earthquake, at which time its demolition was ordered. 'The boroughs have the faculties to carry out supervision visits, order safety measures and, in their case, suspend work when risk conditions are detected,' he added. The building, located on Calzada de Tlalpan, collapsed this Monday. In this context, the secretary pointed to possible responsibilities of the Cuauhtémoc borough, led by Mayor Alessandra Rojo de la Vega. In turn, the former mayor of Iztapalapa announced that her administration will request the 16 boroughs of the capital to 'strengthen the supervision and monitoring mechanisms for demolitions in accordance with their attributions.' Likewise, Brugada announced that the local prosecutor's office, led by Bertha Alcade, is already conducting an investigation to determine the causes of the collapse and assign the respective sanctions. 'We will wait for the results of the investigation,' he said. In the same vein, the head of government, Clara Brugada, stated that her administration will wait for the investigations already being carried out by the local prosecutor's office. She also detailed that during the verification, the authorities managed to verify that the work did not have an internal civil protection program or 'protection measures for adjacent buildings,' which 'put more people at risk' circulating in the surroundings. According to her explanation, this article states that the boroughs 'must verify that there are civil protection programs, safety measures around the work and carry out permanent verifications.' According to her explanation, on June 2, 2018, the authorities communicated this obligation to their heads, who initiated the corresponding procedures to comply with the ordinance on November 20, 2020. The government of Mexico City confirmed that the collapse that occurred this Monday on Calzada de Tlalpan, in the Colonia Tránsito of the Cuauhtémoc borough, left a balance of three deceased and one injured man who is out of danger and could be discharged in the coming hours.
