Overview
- City Police led coordinated operations at Guatemala 5427 and Honduras 5648 with Emergencies staff, the Care Network and Firefighters, under the supervision of Cabinet Chief Gabriel Sánchez Zinny.
- The PH known as the “casa violeta” at Guatemala 5427 had been occupied for over 30 years, was closed by authorities in November, and has been tied up in an eviction suit since 2014.
- The three‑story building at Honduras 5648 in Palermo Hollywood had been usurped since 2013, was in poor condition without electricity, and its owner, Taia, publicly celebrated the eviction on X.
- Officials say the actions responded to repeated neighborhood complaints about insecurity and street crime, as Mayor Jorge Macri pledged strict enforcement and rejected a return to past leniency.
- The latest operations follow recent recoveries, including a CONICET property at Tucumán 1700 where political materials were found, which the city cites as part of a broader campaign.
