Through CEN of the PRI, the federal deputy asked that the name of all those responsible for the accident where a young woman died and more than 100 people were injured
In response, the detainee’s companions went to the CUH-4 Civic Court from where they indicated that the arrest occurred while they were demonstrating peacefully. In their message shared on social networks, they attacked Claudia Sheinbaum, head of the Government of Mexico City, since they assured that the Metro, more than surveillance by the GN, needs maintenance.
“Today we are in the Civic Court CUH-4 in Mexico City because our colleague Hendrik Ortega was arrested while we were holding a peaceful demonstration at the Metro facilities. How is it possible that Claudia Sheinbaum wants to fix the network maintenance problems by bringing in the National Guard?” Mentioned those dissatisfied with the arrest of Hendrik Ortega.
The Secretary of Citizen Security (SSC) confirmed that it arrested the young man, but denied that the reason for the arrest was the demonstration. Instead, he pointed out that elements of the Banking and Industrial Police (PBI) sent him because he painted the Metro facilities.
“Good afternoon, in response to this issue, the #SSC reports that #PBI personnel referred the citizen to the corresponding authorities because he painted paint inside the #Metro #CDMX facilities,” the SSC reported.
