Martí Batres reacted to Sandra Cuevas' reparatory agreement: “The lie fell out”

After Sandra Cuevas, mayor of La Cuauhtémoc, apologized to three policemen, without acknowledging the charges against them, the head of the Ministry of the Interior in the country's capital, Martí Batres, said that the lie that there was political persecution against him fell.

In an interview with La Octava, Batres stated that the mayor of La Cuauhtémoc acknowledged before the judge the aggression against security elements, however, the head of La Segob in Mexico City indicated that these were also propitiated by people close to Cuevas.

“Also important is the fact that the lie that it was political persecution fell. There was no political persecution,” said Batres.

After reaching a reparative agreement with the uniformed men at the hearing held last Thursday, March 24, in the North Prison, the mayor apologized to Eduardo Camacho García, Audencio Faustino García Luna and Marcos David Chavez Arreola for having committed the crimes for which she was denounced, but because of the damage that “they consider”.

Despite denying responsibility for the events to the media, he must pay 30,000 pesos to each officer to cover the costs of his communication radios and cell phones, which were allegedly held by mayoral staff.

For her part, the Head of Government of Mexico City, Claudia Sheinbaum, assured that the case is a sign of justice and that there is no one above the law.

“To all those who said it was a matter of politicization, how good did you see them; presidents of parties who said that the head of government was about to politicize, that how could that happen in Mexico City, because on the contrary, Mexico City has shown that no one is above the law. That is what the Prosecutor's Office shows, and that is what the court shows, regardless of their position and well there is the sample that it had nothing to do with politics but that there were actually victims and that there were crimes that had been committed,” declared the capital's president.

It was at the beginning of the month that Cuevas, accompanied by the national leader of the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), Jesús Zambrano, denied that she had committed illegal deprivation of liberty, robbery with violence and abuse of authority, claiming that she was the victim of a dirty war because she did not agree to switch to the National Regeneration (Morena).

“Enough of political persecution, and I want to say it openly, I received four invitations from two of his closest friends, the head of government, for me to go to Morena and I said no. And when I see my refusal, these regrettable events occur, but I am not going to shut up and I am going to defend myself,” he revealed from San Lazarus.

Given this, the capital's president denied the statements of the mayor of Cuauhtémoc: “It is false, absolutely false. You know what happened to the mayor and the police. From there, they file a complaint and today it is in the hands of justice. We do not determine the action of a judge or a judge, so what I answer is that it is in the hands of justice is not an issue that has to do with a political issue far from it. It is a judicial issue and it is being defined there and it has to continue to be defined there.”
