The case of Doña Carlota, a 74-year-old woman from Chalco, has caused a profound social and legal debate. She is currently in preventive detention along with her children, following a confrontation that occurred on April 2 inside her home. The events, still under investigation, suggest that the three defended their home against an alleged illegal occupation resulting in the death of two men.Una cámara grabó lo ocurrido
Doña Carlota's health condition is a factor to consider.
During the initial hearing, a state judge recognized the possibility that Carlota could face the process from home, provided that a fixed address for her protection is verified. This measure would consider her advanced age, her delicate health condition, and the fact that she depends on insulin permanently. The family insists that they acted in self-defense against an invasion.
More facts in favor of Doña Carlota, the deceased were not the owners of the place.
The Attorney General's Office of the State of Mexico determined that the property legally belongs to Carlota's daughter. This resolution reinforces the version of events offered by the family, confirming that the deceased were not the legitimate occupants of the home.Carlota and her children await a new hearing on April 9, which will determine if they are linked to the process for the homicide of Esau (51 years old) and Jostin (19). Meanwhile, voices demanding justice and common sense are growing, reminding that one should not be treated as a criminal for simply defending their home.El estado de salud de la mujer mayor juega un papel importante
Eviction crisis in the capital: when justice arrives late
The case of Carlota is not isolated. In Mexico City, cases of eviction and illegal occupation of properties are increasingly frequent, many of them orchestrated by criminal networks that operate with total impunity.Entire families have been expelled from their homes by people who take advantage of legal loopholes and the indifference of the authorities to take possession of others' properties without facing immediate consequences. In several boroughs like Cuauhtémoc, Iztapalapa, and Benito Juárez, squatters break into uninhabited or disputed houses, and later threaten the legitimate owners with violence if they attempt to reclaim them.Los casos de despojo son cada vez más frecuentes The lack of timely action by the capital's Attorney General's Office and the local government has caused a climate of insecurity and legal vulnerability, especially for elderly people and women. The story of Carlota reflects a state overwhelmed by illegality, where often the common citizen ends up in prison for defending what belongs to them. All while the true culprits operate freely. It is time to demand that the government acts with firmness and justice, before impunity becomes the norm. Although with Morena, it is clearer that crime and violence are unfortunately the law in some parts of the country.
