Brugada Submits Five-Bill Package to Mexico City Congress on Care, Security and Justice

Next comes congressional debate, followed by coordinated implementation with security and justice agencies.

Overview

  • The plan proposes a legally backed Public Care System with universal, accessible services to recognize, reduce and redistribute unpaid care work, aiming to make the capital the first in Mexico with comprehensive care legislation.
  • Penal reforms would create and toughen sanctions for injuries motivated by gender, with officials framing the measure as a way to intervene before violence escalates to feminicide and to address prejudice related to sexual orientation or gender identity.
  • Penalties for threats would rise, including for explosive-device warnings, with C5 involvement to strengthen information sharing, prevention and video-surveillance responses.
  • An anti-dispossession strategy would coordinate prosecutors, courts, notaries, public registries and police to protect housing rights, responding to more than 38,000 reports over a decade that have disproportionately affected older adults.
  • The package also seeks to harmonize local laws with federal standards, validate the city’s Security and Peace Cabinet, and reform civil, registral and notary rules to curb identity theft, document fraud and abuses tied to property transfers.
