Mexico Edition.

President Peña Nieto and Mayor of the Federal District (Mexico City) Mancera have signed decrees so that construction companies build mega housing and business complexes, which would cause more traffic, raise prices of services, and of property tax. Residents of affected neighborhoods say this is a “social cleansing,” to try to displace the most vulnerable people who have been living for decades in the neighborhoods, so that wealthier people can take their places. Martha Elena Ramírez hosts Voz Pública from Mexico City.

Guests: (pretaped interviews) Sergio González, Citizen Observer, Colonia Juárez, Delegación Cuauhtémoc; Miguel Vargas, Asociación en Defensa de la Colonia Toriello Guerra, Delegación Tlalpan, Mexico City.
