Mexico City Legal Chief Details First-Year Results as PAN Pushes to Strengthen Public Defense

Opposition lawmakers pressed for stronger legal aid.

Overview

  • Cejur head Eréndira Cruzvillegas presented to united congressional commissions, framing her mandate as delivering everyday justice with outreach to vulnerable communities.
  • She highlighted mobile access programs Zócalo Ciudadano and Casa por Casa that brought birth and death certificates and identity-change sessions directly to residents.
  • First-year outputs included 1.3 million certified acts, more than 79,000 birth certificates, 16,000 marriage records, 120,000 administrative corrections, and over 100,000 notarial procedures including 100,000 property registry inscriptions, plus attention to more than 1,800 dispossession cases.
  • Anti-corruption actions flagged 22 fake positive-prescription rulings, three bogus embargo orders and six false deeds, led to two complaints against notaries and two arrests, and produced 207 notarial inspections and 148 sanction files, while 3,541 delayed registry cases were attributed to notary errors.
  • Cruzvillegas defended 38 expropriation decrees as recovery of public assets for housing and reconstruction, and PAN deputies urged technical working groups to build a stronger public defense institute, faster pothole damage claims, and socially inclusive digitalization of registry services.
