Morena Backs Miguel Hidalgo Residents After Reported Detentions at Parque Lira Protest

Lawmakers plan formal filings with the city prosecutor, the human-rights commission, the contraloría.

Overview

  • Residents say auxiliary police detained protesters at the alcaldía plaza during a demonstration over Parque Lira maintenance, with reports of beatings and a 72-year-old woman taken to a hospital.
  • Morena deputies Cecilia Vadillo and Víctor Hugo Romo condemned the operation and pledged to accompany complaints before investigative, rights and oversight authorities.
  • Romo linked the incident to a dispute over alleged privatization tied to the “Alicia en el País de las Maravillas” show and alleged alcaldía commanders ordered the action.
  • A La Jornada account says police arrived minutes after neighbors dumped collected park trash at the Miguel Hidalgo esplanade; Morena coordinator Xóchitl Bravo criticized Mayor Mauricio Tabe’s response.
  • Neighbors state they will protest every Wednesday until their demands are addressed, and no detailed official rebuttal or announced sanctions have been reported.
