Introduction
There’s growing speculation that the U.S. government may be orchestrating a plan for Mexico, as suggested by recent events. Critics argue that these occurrences are not mere coincidences, but part of a larger narrative being constructed by Washington.
U.S. Involvement in Mexican Affairs
Recent events, such as the multimillion-dollar oil theft from Pemex and the significant fuel smuggling, along with the cancellation of Marina del Pilar Ávila’s U.S. visa and the viral video of 17 relatives of “Los Chapitos” entering San Ysidro, California, have fueled these suspicions. Critics believe that these actions are not random but part of a coordinated effort by the U.S. government.
Mexico City’s Housing Initiative
In response to the housing deficit in Mexico City, the ruling party, Morena, has proposed an initiative to address this issue and prevent land from being captured by real estate speculation. The plan involves creating a land reserve with housing intentions and implementing mechanisms like capturing urban value appreciation.
This initiative aims to make the Mexico City government a significant player in the housing market, acting somewhat like a large-scale landlord, ensuring affordable long-term rentals. The government will promote social land use, ensure accessible housing, distribute urban wealth, and create a public park of real estate properties owned, acquired, or managed by the government for affordable long-term rentals.
State of Mexico’s Opportunity
Authorities in the State of Mexico had the chance to prevent an elderly woman from being dispossessed of her property by the violent delinquent group known as “Los 300,” responsible for forcibly evicting homeowners in Ecatepec.
This issue has become widespread, as sources suggest that the criminals may have political protection, despite it being a common crime. Proposed legislation in the state’s congress to harshly penalize these real estate gangsters has not succeeded, creating an opportunity for Governor Delfina Gómez to contribute to social peace in the region.
