In the Metro of Mexico City, 33 cases of punctures have been recorded, but only 15 match the characteristics of a puncture, and only four affected individuals have filed a complaint. Brenda Ruiz, a representative of the authorities, announced that an information campaign will be launched in the Metro to educate users about the protocols for action regarding this phenomenon. She emphasized that this is not about kidnappings, human trafficking, or sexual abuse, but rather a specific issue.
The head of Government, Clara Brugada, previously reported that 5,800 additional police officers have been deployed to work in public transportation. The Morena party in the Congress of Mexico City has labeled the puncture incidents in the Collective Transportation System Metro as part of a smear campaign by the opposition. They have announced that the deputies will take to the streets to inform the public about the measures implemented by Brugada to combat criminals who inject narcotic substances into individuals.
Brenda Ruiz pointed out that the opposition has disseminated material on social media regarding the punctures in the Metro, which could generate panic among users. Ruiz denounced the political and factional use of the issue by the opposition, asserting that there is no evidence of human trafficking, kidnapping, or sexual abuse in these cases. The tweets and videos shared on social media regarding this issue were described by Ruiz as petty and unfounded.
